Hi, Several months ago I discovered that Maxima would not build in Sage on 64-bit OpenSolaris. ECL built, but Maxima would not.
The error was: make[3]: Entering directory `/export/home/drkirkby/sage-4.4.2/spkg/build/maxima-5.20.1.p0/src/src' test -d binary-ecl || mkdir binary-ecl ecl -norc -eval '(progn (load "../lisp-utils/defsystem.lisp") (funcall (intern (symbol-name :operate-on-system) :mk) "maxima" :compile :verbose t) (build-maxima-lib))' -eval '(ext:quit)' ld.so.1: ecl: fatal: relocation error: R_AMD64_PC32: file /export/home/drkirkby/sage-4.4.2/local/lib//libecl.so: symbol main: value 0x22800097de04 does not fit make[3]: *** [binary-ecl/maxima] Killed More info at http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9099 At the time, I did not have a clue whether this was a Maxima, ECL or Sage issue, but now I believe it is an ECL issue, as the link-editor thinks the shared object contains text relocations. There's a command given on this Sun blog, which will show libraries with this problem http://blogs.sun.com/rie/entry/my_relocations_don_t_fit After downloading the latest from your git repository about an hour ago, and building ECL, with export CC="gcc -m64" ./configure make I see: drkir...@hawk:/tmp/ecl$ elfdump -d ./build/libecl.so | fgrep TEXTREL [23] TEXTREL 0 [31] FLAGS 0x4 [ TEXTREL ] which indicates a problem. One obvious reason for this is if the code is not compiled as position independent code. Anohter is if the code contains assembly code which is not position indepedant, but I think I've disabled that when I tried again with $ ./configure --with-dffi=no I also tried setting CC="gcc -m64 -fPIC" but that did not help either. Have you any clue how I might resolve this?
