Dear all,

this upcoming semester I will be teaching a computer class
for mathematics freshmen using fricas.
Since I expect most of them to be using windows,
what is the preferred way for fricas under windows currently?
The binary on http://axiom-wiki.newsynthesis.org/FriCASBinaries
is rather outdated.
Did anybody try a virtualbox image yet?

The linux binary is also somewhat unfriendly,
The path /usr/local/lib/fricas/target/x86_64-unknown-linux
is hardcoded in at least three places:

  usr/local/bin/fricas
  usr/local/bin/efricas
  usr/local/lib/fricas/target/x86_64-unknown-linux/bin/axiom

and without modifying the latter efricas does not work.
In addition, the load path 

  /usr/local/lib/fricas/emacs

in efricas also needs modification if fricas is moved to a different place.

regards,
Franz
