I've patched up the build system quite a bit, so I'd welcome feedback from testers. Maxima - Computer Algebra System ================================ Maxima is a system for the manipulation of symbolic and numerical expressions, including differentiation, integration, Taylor series, Laplace transforms, ordinary differential equations, systems of linear equations, polynomials, sets, lists, vectors, matrices and tensors. Maxima yields high precision numerical results by using exact fractions, arbitrary-precision integers and variable-precision floating-point numbers. Maxima can plot functions and data in two and three dimensions. Maxima is written in CommonLisp and based on the DOE Macsyma that was developed at MIT. Packaging ========= The installation has been split into several packages: maxima - common components and documentation, execution on pre-compiled clisp (memory image) maxima-lang-* - localization for several languages maxima-xmaxima - a Tcl/Tk based GUI The maxima-exec-clisp package has been revoked due to problems with the way CLisp creates the executable. Loading a memory image instead has proved to make no difference in start-up time at least on a system with a fast disk, so no disadvantage should result for the user.
