Hi Ralf In principle, in *every* linux distribution one can:
1) install the powerful nix package manager (This in general is easily done manually, but in Debian >= bulleyes official packages are available, see [1]) 2) use nix to install and regularly update fricas (1.3.7 is available in nixpkgs stable [2]). The simple file default.nix controls the compilation on nix side: it shows that sbcl is used [3]. Notes: - in "nix on Debian" setup the nix packages are stored in a folder different from standard Debian's one. - the fricas nix package has currently not a fully fledged maintainer and, in case of delay, one should ask for updates to the nix newsgroup. - jfricas is not in nix, so one should use also pythonic package managers. I planned to use this method but then I went for direct compilation (thanks to your kind help).
