[sage-devel] Re: upgrade of ECL and Maxima
After a long time, I can finally compile maxima on my laptop (linux on ppc g4).

There are several reasons to want these upgrades: (a) the current Maxima in Sage is 5.16.3, which is basically one year old; (b) the current ECL and Maxima do not build on Solaris, whereas the upgraded versions do. I believe that we sorted out all the problems coming up in upgrading the spkg's, and it would be great if someone could review these. The relevant tickets are http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/6564http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/6699 Here are the steps involved in trying this out: 1. sage -fhttp://sage.math.washington.edu/home/ghitza/ecl-9.8.4.spkg 2. sage -fhttp://sage.math.washington.edu/home/ghitza/maxima-5.19.1.p0.spkg 3. apply the patch maxima_doctests.patch from ticket 6699 4. enjoy!

[sage-devel] Re:
I have a patch which is working (thanks to mabshoff for helping me remove the horrible memory leak in Tucson). The patch does not have doctests. It relies on a patch to lcalc itself. I have asked Mike Rubinstein to make it a part of lcalc. This was more than 2 months ago. I have not heard anything from him since then. Within the next week I will post the patches and the documentation. There is a reason why patches to lcalc are necessary. For example, the function which computes zeros of an L-function spits it out with a cout . I added a patch to lcalc which adds functionality to return the zeros in a vectordouble. This can be converted to python list of sage RealField(). The other solution I thought was to write to a temporary file and read from there. I doubt it will be any better than current use of pexpect. Only advantage would be that for computing with arbitrary L function (satisfying the conditions lcalc requires) will become possible.
