Ah. Sorry, I wasn't paying attention :-}.

I don't think this problem is related to the DarwinPorts problem. The
latter has something to do with the darwinports infrastructure, and is
not specific to the maxima code. The specific problem involves this
result:

when building/installing maxima. I did manage to get it installed
earlier, but then this problem hit. The Pros are working on it...
The important thing in nailing your problem down is to figure out which
chunk of code is issuing the error, and why. And then thunking the
author :-}.
Also, just for curiosity:
>> ;; Loading of file
>> /sw/src/maxima-5.9.0.0-1/maxima-5.9.0/src/maxima.system is finished.
is this getting recursive? src/maxima/.../src/maxima...? I don't have
source installed now, so I can't check...
Regards,
Justin
