Hi,
I frequently running out of memory when using Maxima. From what I can
tell Maxima/GCL is artificially limiting itself to a fairly small
amount of memory (quite annoying when you actually have several GiB
of physical memory available).
This happens even when using the 64bit Ubuntu package for Maxima. I
presume this is because GCL's default settigns (Ubuntu package is
built only for GCL) limit it to tiny amounts of memory.
So.. Before I spend the time trying to build GCL and Maxima from
source so that I can up the memory parameters.. Is there already a
64bit build available (for either Windows XP x64 or Ubuntu Linux) that
I can use which has much larger memory settings?
PS. I'm very new to Maxima - but I like what I see so far. :D
