I've just run a sage -upgrade which complained that some .fas file was not existing or too old.
;;; Internal error: Unable to find include directory ; - Binary file binary-ecl/maxima-package.fas is old or does not exist. ; Compile (and load) source file /home/hemmecke/software/sage-source/spkg/build/maxima-5.20.1.p0/src/src/maxima-package.lisp instead? y ; - Should I bother you if this happens again? So I thought maybe installing maxima as an spkg should work. But 'sage -i maxima' first extracts maxima and then downloads it again. Why? Can this be considered a bug? maxima-5.20.1.p0/src/src/trigo.lisp maxima-5.20.1.p0/src/src/comm.lisp maxima-5.20.1.p0/src/AUTHORS Finished extraction sage: After decompressing the directory maxima does not exist This means that the corresponding .spkg needs to be downloaded again. Searching for latest version of maxima Found package maxima-5.20.1.p0 http://www.sagemath.org//packages/optional/maxima-5.20.1.p0.spkg --> maxima-5.20.1.p0.spkg Finally gives the same error as above. Any hints how to continue?
