Hello,
I don't know if you can reproduce this: if I start FriCAS from $HOME it
starts nicely but if I start in another directory see the snippet below.
I tried with gcl2.7.1-4 from a Debian based distribution and after with the
official Debian sid and the same happens:

I wonder if you can reproduce also this. I have CCed gcl-devel too in case
this happens on other softwares.

But in $HOME even if FriCAS starts normally $HOME/.fricas.input is not
