Maxima

Hi guys,

I installed slitaz 3.0 in my HD a few months ago and join in this community today. It's pretty nice, but I miss of a symbolic calculus package called Maxima. I have tried to compile it by sources, however i don't have experience in do this, so it's better ask for help.

Does somebody use this package? (or can help)

Thanks in advance, 

Marcel

Re: Maxima

I'm not familiarized with this program but first of all, to compile anything you need slitaz toolchain:

[c]# tazpkg get-install slitaz-toolchain[/c]

Now go to the directory of your extracted Maxima tarball and according to its documentation you should:

[c]# sh bootstrap
# ./configure
# make
# make check
# make install[/c]
Hope i helped

Re: Maxima

Can you test this: http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/undigest/maxima-5.25.1.tazpkg

It install menu->utlity->Maxima

(may need http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/undigest/rlwrap-0.37.tazpkg for rmaxima)

Re: Maxima

I've been getting a 404 for the above link.  Here's a Dropbox link to a Maxima package I put together.

...and I just now noticed that Maxima is available in the official repos.  Oh, well.
