The latter may be SBCL-built, the former obviously not. Loadable/embeddable ECL module has an advantage that it's much more robust and faster to communicate with: Sage loads libECL as a Python extension, and the latter in turn loads maxima. So communication goes via RAM, not, via Unix pipes. > It does not matter to me which method is used, I just want to use 5.47 > maxima from sagemath but not sure what to do. > Some flavours of Linux, e.g. Gentoo (and Debian?) allows you to have maxima built with ECL system+wide. > Thanks > --Nasser > > > On Saturday, July 15, 2023 at 8:56:09 PM UTC-5 Nils Bruin wrote: > >> On Saturday, 15 July 2023 at 16:10:38 UTC-7 Nasser M.
