Comment:
After loading up #6781, I try to sage -f this package. All seems well
until the actual build process, which returns a typically enigmatic
response
{{{
Summary:
ECL enabled. Executable name: "ecl"
default lisp: ecl
wish executable name: "wish"
Now building maxima; this takes a few minutes
Since we're using OS X and there is a very weird
bug with buffered output while building maxima,
you will not be able to see the output of the build
as it occurs. Don't worry, the build process did
not hang.
***********************************************************
Failed to make Maxima.
***********************************************************
real 1m8.617s
user 0m27.392s
sys 0m38.775s
sage: An error occurred while installing maxima-5.19.1.p1
}}}
which really, according to spkg-install, just means
{{{
check_error "Failed to make Maxima."
}}}
Which could be any kind of error. And oddly,
{{{
sage -t "devel/sage/sage/calculus/calculus.py"
[18.4 s]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All tests passed!
Total time for all tests: 18.4 seconds
}}}
So apparently nothing "bad" happens to the current Maxima executable, and
perhaps this is completely unrelated to the spkg. However, I get the same
thing once I try to revert to the previous spkg, and in general even
removing ecl.so doesn't fix this; Maxima stays working within Sage, but I
cannot get Maxima to rebuild. Could this have something to do with #6781?
So needless to say, I don't think the script gets to the library Maxima,
and I can't load it:
