Thanks. I actually decided to go ahead and build from source. It's a
good excuse to get the latest stable version and avoids permissions
issues when adding optional components --- I can install in a directory
owned by a normal user.
Perhaps in future, optional packages could be made available via the
distribution package manager? I think this is how TeX Live works on
Debian/Ubuntu. There are a number of packages which group together
optional TeX Live components, such as fonts.
FriCAS does not seem to have a package in the Debian and Ubuntu
repositories at the moment, but axiom does.
Other than that, I assume it will be possible to use another install of
FriCAS using sage.interfaces.fricas just by adjusting the command there
(not tested):
sage: new_fricas = FriCAS(command="/path/to/new/fricas -nosman")
sage: new_fricas("1+1")
