I've seen various spkg-install files where there is something like: if [ `uname` = "Darwin" -a "$SAGE64" = "yes" ]; then echo "Building 64 bit OSX version of Sage" CFLAGS="-O2 -g -m64 " && export CFLAGS LDFLAGS="-m64" fi I've yet to find any linker for which -m64 is a flag. Neither t

The readline spkg-install script is a bit broken, as it has if [ `grep 11.1 /etc/SuSE-release > /dev/null; echo $?` == 0 ]; then ... Surely the most sensible thing would have been to check for the existence of /etc/SuSE-release before trying to run grep on it. It generates a warning on Solari

You could use the multivariate power series in Maxima. There are 2 versions, maximum total degree and (recursively) maximum individual variable degree. As for design, if you were writing it from scratch, I think the Maple system has a somewhat more flexible implementation. I think Axiom may have
