package: maxima
version: 5.46.0-11
Dear Camm,
You're listed as maintaining the Maxima package on Debian here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=maxima;dist=unstable
I'm trying to install Maxima on a raspberry pi 5, running Debian, in the
following way
sudo -Es
apt update && apt full-upgrade
apt install maxima
exit
Then, trying to launch maxima, I get
mprotect failure: 0xb29000 41320448 : Invalid argument
Unrecoverable error: Segmentation violation..
Aborted
This seems to be a common problem:
https://github.com/raspberrypi/bookworm-feedback/issues/297.
Can you help please? Info listed below.
Using
kernel=kernel8.img
is a bit extreme. This issue was reported in Sept 2024, and I assumed (sorry!)
that packages would catch up. It's still a problem, and that's blocking
progress for potential Maxima users in low-resource environments/developing
countries who make use of raspberry pi.
I have no idea about Debian packages, but thanks for Maxima, it's great!
Chris

Maxima is a fully symbolic computation program. It is full featured
doing symbolic manipulation of polynomials, matrices, rational
functions, integration, Todd-coxeter methods for finite group
analysis, graphing, multiple precision floating point computation.
It has a symbolic source level debugger for maxima code. Maxima is
based on the original Macsyma developed at MIT in the 1970s. It is
quite reliable, and has good garbage collection, and no memory leaks.
It comes with hundreds of self tests.

Greetings, and thanks so much for your report!
All that is needed here is that gcl and maxima are rebuilt for your
modified arm64 environment. The system pagesize is a compile-time
constant, and given my understanding of the internals, there is no way
that a GCL image built under one set of constants can run under a
different set. As I am confident that a rebuild will clear this issue,
am closing this now, but please reopen if problems persist.
I don't know much about the organization 'raspberry pi', but presumably
you have some facility for pulling some packages from Debian, and
maintaining fresh builds for others.
Take care,
