BUG: maxima does not run

[ghenshaw@…]

I have maxima 5.9.3 installed. Previously it ran fine, but at some point started crashing with the following error:

dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _locale_charset

Referenced from: /opt/local/lib/maxima/5.9.3/binary-clisp/lisp.run Expected in: /opt/local/lib/libintl.3.dylib

dyld: Symbol not found: _locale_charset

Referenced from: /opt/local/lib/maxima/5.9.3/binary-clisp/lisp.run Expected in: /opt/local/lib/libintl.3.dylib

libintl is supplied by gettext. I have gettext 0.14.5_1 installed.

As maxima ran fine for quite a while, and as I have done nothing to my system except try to keep my ports up to date, I can only surmise that something that occurred in one of the subsequent port upgrades broke it.

Does the error occur if you uninstall, clean and rebuild maxima? It may be that clisp is somewhat flakey in how it handles bindings to the underlying libraries.

I will likely change the maxima default build to sbcl, since clisp seems to be going through another spate of hard to reproduce failures. That may also fix this issue.

The output of

nm /opt/local/lib/libintl.3.dylib | grep _locale_charset

would also be interesting. That would let us know if the problem is really in gettext or in clisp.

Okay...

$ nm /opt/local/lib/libintl.3.dylib | grep _locale_charset

shows:

U _locale_charset

Hmmm. No, it doesn't fix it; in fact, it doesn't build at all. It fails with the following error:

Looks like the error is in gettext after all.

For what it's worth, deactivating gettext 0.14.5_1 and activating gettext 0.14.5_0 seems to make things better.

Sigh. Spoke too soon. With gettext 0.14.5_0, build fails with:

I take it all back, the problem must be in clisp. Maxima 5.9.3 builds and runs just fine if I use the +sbcl variant.

[gwright@…]

I guess it's tim eto make that the default....

Thanks for checking.

Best Wishes, Greg

I see maxima is updated, along with clisp and gettext. Can this be closed?
