I'm 100% completely stumped by why Maxima won't build for you on bsd.math. Sorry. Fortunately, i tried typing touch spkg/installed/maxima-5.16.3.p2 then the rest of the sage build worked fine. See /Users/Prabhu/build/sage-4.1.rc1 Sage doesn't use Maxima much anymore, so not having Maxima shouldn't be a big problem for what you're doing. It will cause trouble if you try to compute a symbolic integral though. -- William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
