I notice in the list the port math/pari which is not some obscure abandonware, but one of the most proeminent free computer algebra software.
So i look at the pari web page and then: niobe% fetch http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/pub/pari/unix/pari-2.5.0.tar.gz pari-2.5.0.tar.gz 100% of 2650 kB 6412 kBps ..... niobe% ./Configure Configuring pari-2.5.0 (STABLE) .... Ok. Type "make install" when you are ready Bye ! niobe% gmake gp Making gp in Ofreebsd-i386 .... niobe% cd Ofreebsd-i386 niobe% gp-dyn GP/PARI CALCULATOR Version 2.5.0 (released) i386 running freebsd (ix86/GMP-5.0.1 kernel) 32-bit version compiled: Aug 21 2011, gcc-4.2.1 20070719 [FreeBSD] (readline v6.1 enabled, extended help enabled) Copyright (C) 2000-2011 The PARI Group PARI/GP is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License, and comes WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY WHATSOEVER.

In other words everything works completely out of the box, without any intervention. After that people will say that the freebsd ports are the best thing since sliced bread! -- Michel TALON _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
