Okay, the file seems to be of Stack and I can find it
so I attatch it.  Thanks again.

Greetings, and thanks so much!

If you could also send foo.tgz and bar.tgz made as follows:

tar zcvf foo.tgz /usr/share/moodle/question/type/stack/
tar zcvf bar.tgz /var/lib/moodle/stack

I'm assuming stackmaxima.mac is in one of those.

Take care,

I send them to you privately because I'm afraid they might
be too big for BTS.

Right.  Thanks for your work.

Looking at these, it appears that some command in maximalocal.mac is
directing a lookup in a home directory of /root when run as user
www-data.  I can't find this file anywhere.  If you can send me a copy,
I'll take a look.  Please note that the underlying gcl uses an algorithm
making use of the HOME environment variable as well as passwd database
lookups for the standard lisp function #'user-homedir-pathanme.

Take care,

Bug#791634: maxima: please package sbcl version

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!  I cannot find a Stack package for Debian.  Can you give me
step by step instructions to reproduce the communication failure?

 Package: maxima
 Version: 5.36.1-1
 Severity: normal

 Dear Maintainer,

* What led up to the situation?

 I wanted to use Stack, a computer aided assessment package
 of Moodle, which should communicate with maxima.
 But the current maxima of Debian failed to communicate
 with Stack.

 So I searched a fix and found that one must build maxima
 with --enable-sbcl, and in fact it worked fine!

 I'm not sure if --enable-sbcl will cause any problem but
 please consider to package maxima with --enable-sbcl or,
 at least, to convert maxima into multi-packages, one with
 --enable-gcl and the other with --enable-sbcl.

 Thanks for your maintenance.

Okay, as I don't speak English so well, istead of explaining
instruction by myself, I'd like to give you some poiters.

In the first place, stack is a moodle plugin so I guess it is
difficult to package for Debian but one should install it from
moodle manually.

Install instruction:
https://github.com/maths/moodle-qtype_stack/blob/master/doc/en/Installation/index.md

Note moodle is packaged, at least in unstable and I can install it
even in stable at present.

At the stage 7. Confirming the installation is successful.
one runs Health-check script and get an error:

failed to load /usr/share/maxima/5.36.1/share/draw/draw.lisp

This is the problem I reported.

You can see the same problem on the net as
https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=279248
and the one where I found the fix --enable-sbcl
https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=313727

I'm not sure if you have time to do the installation
to reproduce the problem but I hope the above info
might help you to some extent.

Thanks for your quick reply and maintenace.
Best regards,   2015-7-10(Fri)
