Description Thomas Kahle (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

This is needed for GCC 4.3 stabilisation.
2.47 builds fine on x86 while the current stable version does not. 

Reproducible: Always

+1; I'll need this for texlive 2008 too as xindy requires a new enough clisp

Target keywords for me are: alpha amd64 ia64 ppc x86

Yes, clisp-2.47 is good to go.

amd64/x86 stable

It looks like clisp-2.47 on amd64 will not build with USE=pari (version of pari does not matter).  Failure looks like
===========================
;; Loading file /var/tmp/portage/dev-lisp/clisp-2.47/work/clisp-2.47/builddir/pari/pari.fas ...
*** - FFI::FIND-FOREIGN-VARIABLE: foreign variable #<foreign-variable "new_galois_format" #x00002ACBAF2AD6C0> does not
      have the required size or alignment
============================
I see this on two independent amd64 systems with
USE=pari
clisp-2.47 builds fine on both with
USE='-pari'

Can anyone confirm or refute?

Hi Ferris, thanks for catching this. I confirm. We're investigating.

Comment 6 Stelian Ionescu 2009-01-07 13:51:36 UTC

I've submitted a bug report upstream: http://tinyurl.com/93fln9, but I don't have access to an amd64 machine, so I can't work on this.

I've added the pari fix to 2.47-r1.

I would be happy to see r1 go stable, but if people don't like that I intend to disable pari support on 2.47. xindy probably doesn't need it anyway.

The pari.patch does fix the problem on amd64.  Says eix:
