Hello-
(I posted this on comp.lang.lisp too, because it may be a lisp-implementation problem regarding GCL).
I'm trying to build the Maxima CAS (Computer Algebraic System) on the Debian GNU/Linux (potato), but I keep getting errors regarding the ./configure script. I installed Maxima-5.6 on my /usr/local directory.
The error messages are:
${GCLDIR}/makedefs (/usr/bin/gcl/makedefs) not found.. so leaving blank..
(cd ./src ; make )

It seems to be a problem regarding the GCL installation on Debian, that obviously differs from the default expected one. But I'm not sure this is the problem.
Can you help me? I really need to use Maxima. For one thing, I just can't afford proprietary CAS like Mathematica and Maple. And besides, why not use Maxima?
I've searched the Maxima mailing-list and linux.debian.user but couldn't find the answer.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
HL

Have you considered trying:
# apt-get install maxima
It's part of "unstable," and probably "testing" too.
Far be it from me to try to deny you the fun of patching things up
yourself, but if what you want is a running copy, and aren't concerned
about how to install it, that should work...

Hello,
the directory where you have build GCL should be interpreted
literally, it is not the directory where you have installed GCL
but where you have build it . So you should download the GCL source
files, expand them in a build directory, do a ./configure and make of GCL
and then modify the configure file of the Maxima source directory to
refere to this directory.
Hopes this helps
