Hi,

I just commited a newer maxima with the gcl-alt-link bit removed and set sbcl
as the default lisp. Could you tell me whether it still hangs, I tried it with
both gcl and sbcl on my boxes, and did fine.

Sebastien

I had the exact same problem as the OP. Your new ebuild with sbcl as the
default lisp intially failed as I did not have sbcl installed nor did the
ebuild pull it in. Adding sbcl to maxima's useflags correctly pulled in sbcl
and maxima compiled nicely.

This was just fixed in cvs. Thanks. 
We should keep this bug open if maxima-5.13.0 don't compile with gcl or other
lisps. Report problems here.

*** Bug 177414 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

maxima-5.13.0 builds just fine for me after pulling in sbcl.
gcl has therefore become redundant and can be removed in my case. 

There seems to be a non-critical error in the ebuild:
/usr/portage/sci-mathematics/maxima/maxima-5.13.0.ebuild: line 103: !use:
command not found

Problems related to gcl are unlikely to get fixed and gcl may be removed
entirely sooner or later.

Maxima builds fine with clisp or sbcl, so I suggest using those.

just a "me too".  also fixed by switching to sbcl.

Since the current maxima ebuild uses sbcl as the default lisp and it warns
about problems if the user chooses gcl, this bug shouldn't be closed?
