lisp SBCL and maxima

Hi,

I've been using maxima for a while, and after the last pacman -Syu it stopped working. However, I don't remember what got updated since I didn't use maxima unil today. The output of maxima is:

 maxima                                                                                                                                                                                                                             [16:59]
fatal error encountered in SBCL pid 21896(tid 3085191952):
can't load .core for different runtime, sorry

I found the same issue in an old post in the forums and the solution was to wait for a new release of maxima. Anything else i could do to get maxima running again?
Thanks,
Regards,

Re: lisp SBCL and maxima

maxima 5.19.2-1 should work.  Wait for your mirror to be updated or get it from some other mirror.

Re: lisp SBCL and maxima

I just installed maxima (and wxmaxima), it installed the following packages:
extra/maxima 5.19.2-3
extra/sbcl 1.0.33-1

When I launch maxima, I get the same SBCL error.

Bumping this thread...
I get the same error with maxima 5.19.2-4 and sbcl 1.0.34-1
I downgraded sbcl to 1.0.34-1 and that works.

I tried that without luck.  What did work was to grab  maxima 5.20.1 from Sourceforge, did a configure, make, make check and sudo make install

removed maxima using sudo pacman -Rd maxima (This removed maxima 5.19 without removing wxmaxima).
Added /usr/local/bin to my path and voilà!  It works again.

If anyone is truly interested in this let me know -- I may use it as an excuse to learn how to write a PKGBUILD

Re: lisp SBCL and maxima

Um, you can always just use the PKGBUILD from ABS.  It's not like the source is changing with these bumps, they're just rebuilds against newer lisps.

Because I clearly missed an important concept.  I have happily used the ABS tools to compile stuff grabbed from AUR -- while remaining in ignorant bliss about that little abs command.

Thanks for the guidance.

I, too am a Gentoo user.  I don't know how to use ABS though.  How would I compile maxima myself with ABS?
