Comment(by leif):

 I've compiled a {{{pari-2.3.5.p4-preview.spkg}}} (changes not yet checked
 in, still testing on some systems with various combinations of parameters
 and installed packages):
 {{{
 === pari-2.3.5.p4 (Leif Leonhardy, August 23th 2010) ===
  * #9722: "--graphic=none" is now respected by PARI. We still look
    for graphics libraries, but don't use them in that case (see below,
    too).
  * #9722: Improved patch to config/get_fltk (makes sure the header
    files are present, too, if the FLTK library was found - fixes
    compiler error on IMHO misconfigured installations).
    We still look for FLTK components even if "--graphic=none" was
    specified, and print appropriate messages, but then simply do not
    use them.
  * #9722: New patch to config/get_X11:
    - Added/corrected/clarified messages regarding what was (not) found,
      and if this is really relevant.
    - An X11 library in */lib64/* will be found now, too (if we do a
      64-bit build); on Fedora, libX11.so is located in /usr/lib64.
    - Added comments.
  * spkg-install:
    - Clear (unset) lots of variables that might (unintentionally) be
      used by PARI; perhaps upstream should initialize them.
    - Clear GP_INSTALL_PREFIX, which is interpreted by PARI.
    - Added help & informational message regarding PARI_EXTRA_OPTS; in
      addition, allow the user to override Sage's "--graphic=none"
      since this now works (see above; we don't want to annoy users
      that perhaps previously made use of GP's plotting support).
  * Clean-up in spkg-install:
    - Quote more environment variables (including SAGE_LOCAL).
    - Consistently use $UNAME instead of `uname` (set in sage-env).
    - Added some comments.
  * NOTE: At least some of these changes should be incorporated into
    our PARI 2.4.3 (svn 12577, see #9343), and/or reported upstream.
    I haven't changed config/get_Qt. It seems Qt support is broken on
    newer systems (because Qt <=3 is expected), but this doesn't break
    the build, only Qt will not be used.
 }}}
 Contact me if you are interested in testing this, too. (Appreciated.)
