I went upstream with this bug report and here's what we found out: http://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/mailman/message/32317553/
Bottom line is: every time gcl gets updated, maxima needs to be rebuilt so things work as expected. Maxima was last rebuilt on 2014-04-15, by then the Debian archive had version 2.6.10-4 or 2.6.10-5 of gcl. Since then, there's been 5 new versions of gcl uploaded (even if they are just 2.6.11pre test versions). I hope this fixes the problem. I will attempt to rebuild myself when I have some time and report back. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
