Comment(by GeorgSWeber):
Almost, there's more than meets the eye.
If I do the "cd $SAGE_LOCAL/lib/ && rm -f ecl && ln -s ecl-* ecl" command
and add the following after line 123 in $SAGE_ROOT/local/bin/maxima (which
one should patch in maxima_spkg/src/src/maxima.in by maxima's "spkg-
install"):
{{{
if [ -n "$MAXIMA_PREFIX" ]; then
ECLDIR="$MAXIMA_PREFIX"/lib/ecl/
else
ECLDIR="$libdir"/ecl/
fi
export ECLDIR
}}}
(do mind the slash at the end of the variables, for me, it does seem to be
worse without), then on one test installation it works. On the other I get
(and Sage doesn't work either):
{{{
computer:/Users/Shared/sage/test/sage-4.1.2.alpha4 georgweber$ maxima
;;; Loading
#P"/Users/Shared/sage/test/sage-4.1.2.alpha4/local/lib/ecl/DEFSYSTEM.fas"
;;; Loading
#P"/Users/Shared/sage/test/sage-4.1.2.alpha4/local/lib/ecl/cmp.fas"
;;; Loading
#P"/Users/Shared/sage/test/sage-4.1.2.alpha4/local/lib/ecl/sysfun.lsp"
Maxima encountered a Lisp error:
NIL is not of type (OR FILE-STREAM STRING PATHNAME).
Automatically continuing.
To reenable the Lisp debugger set *debugger-hook* to nil.
computer:/Users/Shared/sage/test/sage-4.1.2.alpha4 georgweber$
}}}
If the slash (remark in parenthese above) is missing, the same error
message occurs, but without the three lines beginning with ";;;".
The "working installation" is the one with Sage-4.1.2.rc0 and ecl replaced
by ecl-9.4.1; the "non-working installation" is Sage-4.1.2.alpha4 (with
the current maxima and ecl spkgs). I don't know yet what exactly makes the
difference. Next I'll try with Sage-4.1.2.rc0 "vanilla".
