Comment(by cremona):

 I was asked to review this so took a look, but I have no idea what is
 going on here.  Isn't lcalc already in Sage?  Or are only some of the
 functions already in Sage?

 What on earth does the instruction "Copy all the include files from
 lcalc/include to $SAGE_ROOT/local/include . Copy the libLfunction.so from
 lcalc/src to $SAGE_ROOT/local/lib Then you can compile the wrapper." mean?
 Should that not be done when Sage is built, so is not the right thing to
 do to change the existing lcalc spkg in Sage (lcalc-20080205.p2) to a new
 spkg?  Then the reviewer should install this new experimental spkg, apply
 a patch, and proceed as normal.

 I also do not find it helpful to attach a worksheet with examples, because
 I do not use the notebook and so it's just one more complication.

 Because of the above I changed the tag from "needs review" to "needs
 work", since I do not think this is ready for review.
