Intially on debian kernel 2.6.25-7, configuration of gcl 2.6.7-38 failed (log on http://www.cs.unb.ca/~bremner/logs/2008/07/31/gcl.log but I think there is nothing too surprising there) with the message
checking for ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE constant... yes, 40000 checking for personality(ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE) support... no checking that sbrk is (now) non-random... no Cannot build with randomized sbrk. Your options: - upgrade to a kernel/libc that knows about personality(ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE) - recompile your kernel with CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK (if it has that option) - run sysctl kernel.randomize_va_space=0 before using gcl Following this advice, I ran sysctl kernel.randomize_va_space=0 After this I was able to successfuly build gcl and then use that gcl to build maxima-5.15.0-2. This build of maxima seems OK; run_testsuite() produces no unexpected errors. David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
