I've been running sci-mathematics/yacas-1.0.61 without problems ever since it was stabilized. However, this week I upgraded to the new/stable GCC version (4.1.1) and rebuilt my tool-chain/system. Everything rebuilt without error except for yacas. It appears that the following errors are causing the problem: ------------- x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I../libltdl -I./plat/linux32 -march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe -Wall -c mathcommands3.cpp -MT mathcommands3.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/mathcommands3.TPlo -fPIC -DPIC -o mathcommands3.o mathcommands3.cpp: In function 'void LispArithmetic1(LispEnvironment&, int, LispObject* (*)(LispObject*, LispEnvironment&, int))': mathcommands3.cpp:111: error: cast from 'BigNumber*' to 'int' loses precision mathcommands3.cpp: In function 'void LispArithmetic2(LispEnvironment&, int, LispObject* (*)(LispObject*, LispObject*, LispEnvironment&, int), int)': mathcommands3.cpp:123: error: cast from 'BigNumber*' to 'int' loses precision mathcommands3.cpp:124: error: cast from 'BigNumber*' to 'int' loses precision mathcommands3.cpp: In function 'void LispGcd(LispEnvironment&, int)': mathcommands3.cpp:159: error: cast from 'BigNumber*' to 'int' loses precision mathcommands3.cpp:160: error: cast from 'BigNumber*' to 'int' loses precision ... make[2]: *** [mathcommands3.lo] Error 1 make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... ... make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/yacas-1.0.61/work/yacas-1.0.61/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/yacas-1.0.61/work/yacas-1.0.61' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!!

(no error message) ------------- It appears this may be an upstream problem based on the errors reported. However, I've noticed that bug reporting/handling for the Yacas project seems quite scattered and unorganized. I searched the reports listed on the SourceForge project and found nothing current/related. I also searched the developer mailing list and found no such reports. The developer list was definitely still active, however -- just no reports of this. Another note: I see they just released version 1.0.62 recently. No ebuild exists for this version yet and I haven't created one, so I'm not sure if this would affect the problem at all.

This is probably due to code that mixes 64bit pointers and 32bit ints on x86_64, since I don't see this on my x86 box. I've just bumped yacas to 1.0.62 in portage cvs; please give it a shot and let me know if this issue has been fixed in the most recent version (Unfortunately, I didn't notice anything related in the changelog). Thanks, Markus

Agreed, I believe this is exactly the problem. > I've just bumped yacas to 1.0.62 in portage cvs; please give it a > shot and let me know if this issue has been fixed in the most recent > version (Unfortunately, I didn't notice anything related in the changelog). Well, well... I just tried the new ebuild and it built perfectly. The application itself seems to be functioning properly as well. Thanks VERY much for taking the time to investigate a little and add the newer ebuild. It seems someone around the Yacas project has been fixing their pointers, even if they didn't mention it in the changelog. :-) Again, thanks.
