Because I don't want to package it just for SuSE -- I might switch to or acquire a new Unix variant in the future. Furthermore, I consider that approach a rathole[1]: which version of SuSE? I certanly don't have a standard SuSE installation and my working version is probably too old by many standards. I want to have Axiom in a form where I could just type "./configure; make; make install" and be done with it. See the Autoconf suggestion in a different thread. But I would like Axiom to be better than that; that is the reason why I talked to Benjamin Kosnik about distribution when we met two-three weeks ago. See the "cross compilation issue" in another thread. I also briefly discussed the issue with Paolo Carlini, fellow libstdc++ maintainer, working for SUSE. Best, [1] I had had a version of Maple working well till two years ago I upgraded to a newer linux version that was using a new version of glibc. My copy of Maple stopped working. -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
