[Axiom-developer] interpsys with dlopen in underlying lisp

2006-08-03 Thread Gernot Hueber
Hi, I have managed to build interpsys with dlopen in the image. Next step is to use dlopen, which in fact is the more interesting part. Has anybody experience with dlopen yet? Regards Gernot hawkings# /home/hueber/src/axiom--main--1--patch-49/obj/freebsd/bin/interpsys GCL (GNU Common Lisp) 2.

Bob, Thanks very much for the reference to this new work. Having actually written a tensor package for Maple a few years ago and now contemplating the limitations of the CartesianTensor domain in Axiom, I do have a great respect for this problem. On Thursday, August 03, 2006 12:58 PM you wrote: >

Today appeared "A field-theory motivated approach to symbolic computer algebra":http://arxiv.org/abs/cs.SC/0608005 which is of course very interesting to me. Anyone who has used any tensor package in any CAS will sympathize with the goals of the author. The code is GPL and he even wrote a texmac

Hi, Here is the patchfile. Pls check. util.ht is broken, but I think this is not a FreeBSD issue. I used one from an older build and hyperdoc works again. You need bash, gsed and gawk installed! Install gcl from the ports with "--enable-ansi" removed from the Makefile. Go into bash, start ./conf

Hi, I am working with Axiom/Aldor on FreeBSD systems (FreeBSD 6.1 and 5.4, gcl-2.6.6 and gcl-2.6.7). After Axiom compiles fine (with some with some minor patches I will provide after cleaning up them). Especially the Aldor part causes some serious headache. Is anybody interested in or able to bui

Makefile.am does not need to be linear. In fact, Makefile.am is sufficiently high-level enough that if and when we get there, we will see that Tim already did the job. We just need to re-structure Makefile.pamphlet first. You won't have to write Makefile.am, because you will write Makefile.pamp
