In this particular case, the problem is that sconc no longer exists. If you call sconcat instead of sconc, the Distinct function succeeds. Also sunlisp no longer exists. It used to be that Maxima strings were implemented as Lisp symbols, not Lisp strings, but now Maxima strings are Lisp strings. That made some of the string functions unnecessary.

Well, I have tried to list backwards-incompatible changes in the ChangeLog files for releases, but now that I look at the last few, I see that I overlooked the string function changes. Asking on the mailing list is usually the fastest way to answer a question, given the general disorganization of the existing information. best Robert Dodier ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Maxima-lang-fr mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/maxima-lang-fr
