(%i5) describe(ode2);

 -- Function: ic2 (<solution>, <xval>, <yval>, <dval>)
     Solves initial value problems for second-order differential
     equations.  Here <solution> is a general solution to the equation,
     as found by 'ode2', <xval> gives the initial value for the
     independent variable in the form '<x> = <x0>', <yval> gives the
     initial value of the dependent variable in the form '<y> = <y0>',
     and <dval> gives the initial value for the first derivative of the
     dependent variable with respect to independent variable, in the
     form 'diff(<y>,<x>) = <dy0>' ('diff' does not have to be quoted).

     See 'ode2' for an example of its usage.

(%o5)                                true

I'll check in a minute if downgrading texinfo helps.
Comment 1 Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2013-06-12 14:07:44 UTC
Yes, downgrading texinfo back to -4 fixes this.
Comment 2 Andrey Grozin gentoo-dev 2013-07-01 12:17:55 UTC
OK, have to depend on <texinfo-5.0 again.
The upstream is working on texinfo-5.1 support, I hope the next version of maxima will be fine. Let's wait.
