Hello again!
I finally managed to compile gcl-2.4.1 and maxima-5.6!
I didn't understand why ftp and cvs at math.utexas.edu seem to be
`frozen' since gcl version 2.4.0, while gcl-2.4.1 can be found at
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcl/
Anyway I tested maxima with some simple problems and it seems to work
fine.
Then I started the difficult eigenvalue job and waited, waited,
waited...
Since monday afternoon one CPU has been used by maxima... and memory
allocated for maxima has grown more and more...
After all that I received the following error:
Unrecoverable error: can't allocate. Goodbye.
And then my shell prompt, again...
But in the meanwhile maxima-saved was still in execution using 99% of
one CPU, but with very little memory usage (as I saw with top).
What's the meaning of all this?
TNX in advance!
