I have tried compiling maxima with dpkg-buildpackage and it failed. Then I tried compiling maxima with: ./configure --enable-clisp --disable-gcl This worked.
Then I tried compiling gcl with dpkg-buildpackage and got this error: Cannot build with randomized sbrk. Your options: - upgrade to a kernel/libc that knows about personality(ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE) - recompile your kernel with CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK (if it has that option) - run sysctl kernel.randomize_va_space=0 before using gcl So I'm guessing the problems with maxima is because gcl is compiled on a computer with this randomize address space disabled (or with the personality thing) and then we run it on computers with it enabled. -- Error in CONDITIONS::CLCS-UNIVERSAL-ERROR-HANDLER [or a callee]: Caught fatal error [memory may be damaged] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/303587 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
