I'm running 3.0-current (last CVSUP date = 05/21 for source and 5/26 for ports). When I attempted to build this is the error it keeps giving me: ===> Building for maxima-5.0 (cd ./src ; make "LISP=/lang/gcl/work/gcl-2.0/xbin/gcl") echo '(load "sysdef.lisp")' '(load "SYS-PROCLAIM.lisp")' '(proclaim (quote (optimize (safety 0) (speed 0) (space 0))))' '#+gcl(setq compiler::*ifuncall* t)' '(proclaim (quote (optimize (safety 2) (speed 2) (space 2))))' '(make::make :maxima-macros :compile t)' | /lang/gcl/work/gcl-2.0/xbin/gcl /lang/gcl/work/gcl-2.0/xbin/gcl: not found *** Error code 127 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. bash# cd ../../lang/gcl bash# make ===> gcl-2.0 is marked as broken: Seems to depend on old version of tcl/tk. bash# I tried using pkg_add with gcl, but that didn't help since the Makefile is looking for specific source code from the build of gcl. Any suggestions? I'm actually looking for a version of matlab for FBSD. This appears to be the closest I could find in the ports collection (I could be way off here). I would like to use it for my Linear Algebra class/homework (the book shows examples and problems specifically for matlab). If I can't get maxima to work, does anybody have any alternatives I could use in place of matlab? Thanks in advance.
