Re: [gentoo-science] Sage, ecls, maxima

[Thomas Kahle]

Update:  

The maxima-5.26 build failure is only with ecls-12.2.1, downgrading to
ecls-11 or upgading to ecls-12.2.7 makes maxima compile again and then
recompiling sage makes my original problem go away.  So this is just a
compile failure of maxima against ecls-12.2.1.  Maybe the
package.keywords file that comes with sage should avoid this particular
version?

Cheers,
Thomas
