package: maxima version: 5.46.0-11 Dear Camm,
You're listed as maintaining the Maxima package on Debian here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=maxima;dist=unstable I'm trying to install Maxima on a raspberry pi 5, running Debian, in the following way sudo -Es apt update && apt full-upgrade apt install maxima exit Then, trying to launch maxima, I get mprotect failure: 0xb29000 41320448 : Invalid argument Unrecoverable error: Segmentation violation.. Aborted This seems to be a common problem: https://github.com/raspberrypi/bookworm-feedback/issues/297. Can you help please? Info listed below. Using kernel=kernel8.img is a bit extreme. This issue was reported in Sept 2024, and I assumed (sorry!) that packages would catch up. It's still a problem, and that's blocking progress for potential Maxima users in low-resource environments/developing countries who make use of raspberry pi. I have no idea about Debian packages, but thanks for Maxima, it's great!
