That the build "succeeded" despite of the error is due to a subtle bug in
`spkg-install`:
{{{
#!sh
...
check_error() {
if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then
echo >&2
"***********************************************************"
echo >&2 "Error:" $@
echo >&2
"***********************************************************"
exit 1
fi
}
...
echo "Now installing the Maxima library as '$ECLLIB/maxima.fas'..."
cp -f maxima.fasb "$ECLLIB/maxima.fas"
check_error "Failed to install '`pwd`/maxima.fasb' as
'$ECLLIB/maxima.fas'."
...
}}}
The exit status (`$?`) tested in `check_error()` is that of {{{`pwd`}}},
not the one we're interested in, namely that of `cp`.
