This is a new upstream release. I've patched up the build system quite
a bit, so I'd welcome feedback from testers.
A couple of issues with the 64-bit distribution
* I don't see the English info files. Error below
* xmaxima fails to start. Error below
Apart from that it looks OK.
I ran the smoke tests used for the windows maxima build (in INSTALL.win32).
o Run the maxima testsuite: run_testsuite()
o Try compiling a function. This has been a problem in the past
- f(x):=x+2;
- compile(f);
- f(2);
o Test the graphics systems under maxima
plot2d(sin(x),[x,0,10]);
plot3d(x*y,[x,-1,1],[y,-1,1]);
load(draw)$
draw3d(xu_grid = 30, yv_grid = 60, surface_hide = true,
parametric_surface(cos(phi) * sin(theta),
sin(phi) * sin(theta),
cos(theta),
theta, 0, %pi, phi, 0, 2 * %pi))$
o Check that plotting to Postscript works
plot2d(sin(x),[x,0,10],[ps_file,"ps_test.ps"]);
o Try out the on-line help: describe(sin)
Documentation error
(%i6) describe(sin);
Maxima encountered a Lisp error:
OPEN: File #P"/usr/share/info/maxima.info-1" does not exist
xmaxima error. I may just be missing a dependency (some fonts?)
$ DISPLAY=localhost:0 xmaxima
