Package: maxima-share
Version: 5.16.3-1
Severity: wishlist

Currently, the LAPACK integration in Maxima is far from optimal. First
of all, one has to run load(lapack) once as root as the first call
starts a compilation of the libs and requires write access to files in
/usr/share. Second, this requires gcl to be installed, which is not
mentioned anywhere. And third, the process creates
architecture-dependent files under /usr/share, a clear violation of
FHS [1]. See [2] for a discussion of these issues on the Maxima
mailing list.

I guess the proper way would be to create the LAPACK libs at
build-time and include them in the maxima-share package for
installation under /usr/lib. If you can point me in the right
direction, I probably could come up with a patch myself.
