BUG: maxima 5.9.3 does not build

[alvaro.mtr@…]

i am using clisp 2.38 and when i try to install maxima i get this (among many other things):

make[1]: * [binary-clisp/maxima.mem] Error 1 make: * [all-recursive] Error 1

Warning: the following items did not execute (for maxima): com.apple.activate com.apple.build com.apple.destroot com.apple.archive com.apple.install Error: /opt/local/bin/port: Status 1 encountered during processing.

I really can't tell anything from this report; what is the output of

sudo port -dv install maxima

?

Did you install clisp successfully? Have you tried building the +sbcl variant of maxima instead? There are some known (bug unresolved) bugs in clisp on OS X/powerpc, but it is impossible to tell if you have come across one without more information.

it does compile and function very well with the +sbcl variant! it should be the standard variant on MacOsX

so what about a trace? (`port -dv bla 2>&1 > trace.log')

[alvaro.mtr@…]

port -dv build maxima 2>&1 > trace.log

The default build now uses sbcl. This fixes the problems with clisp as well as working on MacIntel.
