Just So you know... I downloaded the debian unstable package : http://packages.debian.org/unstable/math/maxima
the powerpc version, updated to maxima 5.10.0. I think its compiled with GCL because "usr/lib/maxima/5.10.0/binary-gcl" with a maxima binary is created with this .deb . it seems to work correctly with this package. Clisp on ubuntu ppc has severe problems ( i compiled last version , 2.40 from cvs) and SBCL from dapper repo doesn't even compile on ppc(I did not test the last version of SBCL). So if this works on ubuntu dapper, GCL has to work. If I can I will compile GCL and check. I have to yet test wxmaxima. -- Maxima hangs on ppc Dapper https://launchpad.net/bugs/37169 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
