Re: 5.9.3: Problem with asksign

harald, i don't see a bug here.
i tried it with 5.9.3 on windows and linux, and in both cases
i get a single question, to which i can answer either p or n
to get two different (and apparently correct) results.

do you mean to say that the message "Is  a b  positive or negative?"
is printed repeatedly without any interaction from you?
if so, that makes me think the stream handling stuff is
messed up, although i really don't know. perhaps you
can give us a little more detail.

best,

I observed such behavior but only under xmaxima and only with not yet
released GCL 2.6.8.  But you log shows GCL 2.6.7.  Strange.
Some questions to clarify the situation:

1. Do you use xmaxima?  If yes then what about maxima in console.

2. What is your Linux distro?  Maybe your GCL 2.6.7 build applies

I get the same behaviour with clisp 2.35-2 and cvs-maxima in ubuntu
(command line, xmaxima and wxmaxima)

Yes, and it does so without ever stopping until I press Ctrl-C.

Well, what exactly do you want to know. I downloaded the source tar.gz,
did under debian etch (testing):
./configure
make
make install

and it was the way I described.

maxima and mandriva

Hi

I can't install Maxima on Mandriva.

If I do
rpm -ivh maxima-... maxima-exec-clisp...

it complains about the md5 and maxima-exec-clisp.

What am I supposed to do?

Does it mean I need to install clisp?

No. But md5 sum means that rpm-file
is damaged.

package lfsr ?

Someone ask me if maxima has a package for Linear Feedback Shift Registers, 
like the mathematica package :
http://modp.com/release/mma_lfsr/
I think nothing equivalent exist, but can you confirm this fact ?

Best regards

Re: maxima and mandriva

Hi!

The md5 was indeed a checksum error now
it complains about libreadline.so.4...

Is there a simpler way to install 
Maxima on Mandrake? 
It would be great to have an rpm that
would do everything on all rpm-distros.

I try to google libreadline.so.4 and
found many links.
I need an rpm for Mandrake Linux (not Mandriva).
Would an rpm for Mandriva or Fedora 
of libreadline.so.4 work on Mandrake?

libreadline.so.4

Hi all

I have a serious problem:
I need to install Maxima on Mandrake.

If I try to install the 2 rpms 
it says it requires libreadline.so.4.

It is not very clear to me which rpm
contains libreadline.so.4 because
I have installed many with no success.

  Regards

  Fabrizio

libreadline is important part on any Linux
distro.  You should have libreadline already.
Try

rpm -qa | grep readline

But version and exact package name vary from distro
to distro (readline-XXX.rpm or libreadline-YYY.rpm).
The only really reliable way it to get Maxima
rpm built exactly for distro you use (name and version!).
Otherwise workability isn't guaranteed.
Other option -- build it from scratch.
It isn't actually so hard.
