I've been appending /share rtest files to the share_testsuite. With 5.15.0
+ gcl this test
from rtest_fourier_elim works OK:
(%i1)
load("C:/maximacvs/maxima/share/contrib/fourier_elim/fourier_elim.lisp")$
(%i2) fourier_elim([x[2]+x[1]<1,x[1]-x[2]>-1],[x[1],x[2]]);
(%o2) [x[2]-1<x[1],x[1]<1-x[2],x[2]<1]
But with CVS Maxima compiled with SBCL + XP, it fails:
(%i1) load(fourier_elim)$
(%i2) fourier_elim([x[2]+x[1]<1,x[1]-x[2]>-1],[x[1],x[2]]);
Maxima encountered a Lisp error:
Error during processing of --eval option "(cl-user::run)":
The value NIL is not of type CHARACTER.
SBCL for XP is experimental---if somebody could verify this bug
using CVS Maxima + SBCL (or CMUCL or ...) + non-windows, it might save me
some time.
So far, I've appended the linearalgebra rtest files and the (new)
rtest_sequence
file to the share_testsuite.
