maxima-5.13.0 fails to compile,
I am so far using maxima-5.11.0-r2.

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.

[Comment 3 Sverre Anmarkrud 2007-09-14 06:18:09 UTC]

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.

[Comment 6 rainer 2007-09-15 18:36:57 UTC]

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

[Comment 7 Marijn Schouten (RETIRED) 2007-09-19 17:26:15 UTC]

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.

[Comment 8 Colin Macdonald 2007-09-19 20:24:52 UTC]

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

[Comment 9 [e-mail] 2007-10-28 14:04:29 UTC]

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?

[Comment 10 Justin Lecher (RETIRED) 2010-06-23 07:48:30 UTC]

As there is no new report for three years and the version in question left the tree I close this one. In case of objections, reopen or comment.
