Bug 154592 – >=sci-mathematics/maxima-9.5.3 lisp error "out of range"

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Artemii 2006-11-09 12:44:11 UTC]

>=sci-mathematics/maxima-9.5.3 with clisp, gcl, sbcl as licp compilers, crashes with lisp error:

Maxima encountered a Lisp error:


AREF: index 0 for "" is out of range

If I set LC_ALL to C then maxima works with gcl and sbcl, but switch in debug mode with clisp:

[Comment 1 Artemii 2006-11-09 12:48:28 UTC]

excuse me version is >=sci-mathematics/maxima-5.9.3

[Comment 2 Artemii 2006-12-03 03:08:50 UTC]

LC_ALL is nil, and reads before LANG and LC_MESSAGES (init-cl.lisp). A temporary (while projects developers don't fix it) fix is read LANG before LC_ALL


This is diff for init-cl.lisp

Authors fix this bug in 5.11.0

[Comment 4 Marcus D. Hanwell (RETIRED) 2007-01-13 10:45:54 UTC]

I have just bumped this package to 5.11.0 and so hopefully this is now fixed. Thanks to Andrey Grozin <[e-mail]> and  Sebastien Fabbro <[e-mail]> for the work they put into this ebuild in the overlay.
