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).

Cheers
riccardo
