New description:
Please update ecl and maxima to the newest upstream release. Sage packages
are here:
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/patches/ecl-10.4.1.spkg
http://www.stp.dias.ie/~vbraun/Sage/spkg/maxima-5.22.1.spkg
Note that you cannot upgrade one without the other; Both need to be
upgraded simultaneously or build will fail.
Relevant tickets for ecl:
* #9493: Remove extra baggage from ECL 10.2.1.p1 (again). The package
has been cleaned up, but I feel removing gmp sources is too dangerous.
* #10185: the old ecl-10.2.1 does not build on Fedora 14: Hopefully
fixed with the updated ecl from this ticket.
Relevant tickets for maxima:
* #8645: ECL library "maxima.fasb" is built at new location. The patches
from this bug have been incorporated into the maxima spkg, and #8645 can
be closed after this ticket.
* #8731: update/upgrade maxima to latest upstream (5.21.1): Latest
upstream is nowadays 5.22.1.
* #8582: `sum(1/(1+k^2), k, -oo, oo)` returns 0: The new maxima seems to
be able to evaluate this correctly, at leasts it returns some expression
with digamma functions.
The updated maxima code seems to be more careful about signs which leads
to doctest errors.

Comment:
I have put an updated ECL file at
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/patches/ecl-10.4.1.spkg This
has only been checked on !OpenSolaris - I don't have access to a Fedora 14
machine, so can't verify if it actually fixes the issues reported at
#10185
I should make a few comments about this:
* I have not added an spkg-check file or the Lisp tests, as I gather from
the ECL developer the Lisp tests on the ECL site are outdated. Fixing this
appears to be a non-trivial issue.
* The repository information from the ecl-10.2.1.p3 version actually in
Sage is kept, as it should be. (Volker's package was based on a 10.4.1
package I created months ago, which never got merged into Sage. So the
repository information was not correct).
* Despite being told the Solaris text relocation issue was resolved, it
appears it is not as simple as applying a single patch as I had hoped. So
#9840 remains unresolved, though it should be fixed when the next stable
ECL release is made.
* I've cleaned the package up somewhat.
* I did not remove the gmp sources, as doing so requires a new configure
file to be created. Whilst I can see this is advantageous if done
properly, I fear that this will be done incorrectly at some point in the
future, which can result in chaos.
After
* Installing the new ECL package I created, and put at
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/patches/ecl-10.4.1.spkg
* Installing the Maxima package from
http://www.stp.dias.ie/~vbraun/Sage/spkg/maxima-5.22.1.spkg
* Trying to install all the patches (one failed, see below)
* Rebuilding the Sage library.
* Running all the doctests, which all pass.
I get one reject out of six when adding
{{{trac_10187_general_display_prefix_workaround.patch}}}
to sage 4.6.1.alpha0, so I think that patch needs updating. The contents
of the reject are:
{{{
--- maxima.py
+++ maxima.py
@@ -728,10 +729,12 @@
sage: maxima._eval_line('1+1;')
'2'
- sage: maxima.eval('sage0: x == x;')
+ sage: maxima._eval_line('sage0: x == x;')
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
- TypeError: error evaluating "sage0: x == x;":...

+
+
"""
if len(line) == 0:
return ''
}}}
But as I say, all doctests passed for me, despite one patch was not fully
applied!!
{{{
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All tests passed!
Total time for all tests: 1871.3 seconds
}}}
I'm leaving as needs work, as clearly the fact one patch does not apply
cleanly is a problem. It also needs testing on more than one system, but I
don't have access to the Fedora 14 system where this was a particular
problem.
