OK, I tried the kill(all) suggestion in rtest3.mac. I got
the same results. I tried recompiling from the Maxima most
recent source (from the main Maxima page, which is also where
I got my 5.6 tarball) and got exactly the same 'make test'
results.
Here's one example of a broken test.
/* ********************** Problem 89. *************** */
%Input is
INTEGRATE(EXP, X)
Division by 0
-- an error. Quitting. To debug this try DEBUGMODE(TRUE);)
Caused a error break: rtest3.mac
Error Summary: [BROKE, (QUOTE, rtest3)]
Since the error output said to try DEBUGMODE(TRUE), I added
debugmode(true);
done;
in rtest3.mac just before the failing test. Rerunning the
test produced (just the bad parts):
/* ********************** Problem 90. *************** */
%Input is
INTEGRATE(EXP, X)
Division by 0
-- an error. Entering the Maxima Debugger dbm
(dbm:1)
FALSE
(dbm:1)
FALSE
(dbm:1)
FALSE
The (dbm:1) FALSE pattern continues seemingly forever.
Any ideas people? Many thanks....
