by running ecl stand-alone on the maxima spkg, I can confirm that the error comes from (asdf:make-build :maxima :type :fasl :move-here ".")
Unfortunately I cannot find any information on how to use the ecl's debugger. Any pointers much appreciated. By the way, In maxima.asd I see plenty of :pathname "", and the error is ;;; Loading "/home/Dima/sage-4.7.2/spkg/build/maxima-5.23.2.p0/src/src/maxima.asd" ; Registering #<system :MAXIMA> as MAXIMA An error occurred during initialization: In function PATHNAME, the value of the only argument is NIL which is not of the expected type (OR FILE-STREAM STRING PATHNAME). So somehow it might be that due to some LF/CR weirdness, "" cannot be an argument to pathname (*** my pure speculation***) Dima -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
