Hi
I don't know if this was discussed before, but there is some interest on
building an ebuild script for easy installation and compiling of maxima
on the Gentoo linux distribution. (An ebuild skript is a set of
instructions which tell gentoo what packages it must have to sucessfully
compile maxima)
At the moment there are some problems with those perl interpreters
(which one and how to install) and i think with some efford of this list
those problems could be solved very quickly.
The current state could be seen here:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16529
and at http://www.gentoo.org are documentations about the ebuild syntax.
greetings, Harald
