build problem

[Ralf Hemmecke]

Hello,

I am trying to compile a r672 of fricas.
Unfortunately, I am unable to compile on the sage.math server.

Setup is ECL (Embeddable Common-Lisp) 9.4.1 as comes with the Sage that
is installed on that machine.

Could someone have a look at the log "make | tee make.log" which can be
found at
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/hemmecke/pub

I have no idea why that would fail.

Ralf,

It looks like maybe you were doing a parallel build because of the
order of the output near the end of the log. I have sometimes had
problems. Maybe you could try it without this option?

Regards,
Bill Page.

Well, I started with 'make -j9' and then (after it failed) wanted to
check without the -j option. So I really typed "make | tee make.log".

And now checkt again with 'make -j1'. ==> Failed in exactly the same way.

But anyway, 'make -j9' should also work. Hasn't Waldek enabled a
parallel build?

I really don't understand that. Maybe I should try with sbcl.

By the way, compiling the same code with ECL (Embeddable Common-Lisp)
9.8.4 on my laptop works fine (linear build on a 32bit machine).

Ralf,

Do you recall the following email concerning the ecl upgrage?

sage -i -s http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/ghitza/ecl-9.8.4.spkg

Bill Page.

Ok, sorry. I guess it is on some kind of "sharing" site that forces
you to read annoying advertisements or something. I don't know why the
developer did not put it directly on the sage site.

I don't think so. I think 4.1 should be ok. But for sure you do need a
version of Sage where ECL is the default lisp.

No, I don't think so.

Yes. Your log shows that it found "ECL (Embeddable Common-Lisp) 9.4.1".

No, it is not necessary to install ECL separately to install FriCAS in Sage.

But as Nils pointed out, ECL 9.4.1 is now also a little old. I think
Waldek mentioned earlier that he had a problem building FriCAS with
9.4.1 or similar version. I had forgotten that for other reasons I
had already upgraded the ECL version in version 4.1.1 of Sage that I
have installed on my system. You should definitely ECL also upgrade
via

sage -i -s http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/ghitza/ecl-9.8.4.spkg

It looks like a bug in ECL shipped with Sage. Do you know how
this ECL was configured?

For me plain ECL 9.4.1 worked, but Unicode enabled one did not
work.

I do, but I cannot upgrade ecl on that machine. I wanted to try with the
standard installation.

The only thing I could do would be to make ecl-9.8.4 automatically
install, when I install fricas.

Oh, I guess that calls for trouble since sage does not really have
dependency tracking.

Since I cannot answer Waldek's question... this mail goes to sage-devel.
Maybe William knows?

And here is the relevant thread.
