Hi Thierry,

it is generally *not* recommended to install all or even many optional/
experimental spkgs unless you need them. In detail to your list:

polymake: tracked at http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/3640 -
I will fix this today once and for all.
dvipng: install from the distribution. The dependencies are insane to
build this from source and it should be deleted to moved to
experimental.
jmol-11.5.2-src-v2: this is the source version of a binary spkg
already installed. No need to install it.
hermes: *never* even heard of it, too lazy to google it now :).
fricas: It is a known problem that the current FriCAS.spkg builds with
gcl since our clisp is either compiled with the wrong options or
broken. We have a ticket for that somewhere. But I would recommend you
build the latest FriCAS release (which is more current than the spkg
anyway). As long as it is in $PATH Sage should be able to pick it up.
I would also suggest we move the FriCAS.spkg to experimental until the
lisp issues are sorted out. We will start shipping ecl with the August
Maxima release (5.16.x) assuming the ecl branch gets merged.

Cheers,

Michael
