Hello Robert and Ray:
Thanks for getting the testsuite problem solved. Now I can spend some
time with Maxima and try to pick up where I left off. My math has gotten
very rusty...
I've been moving from a 32-bit computer to a newer (but not brand new)
64-bit computer and while I was at it, I changed my Linux distribution
as well. Linux Mint 14 seems to work well for me. There were a few
things I had to do differently, but most of it was just plug and play.
By the way, Robert, that git incantation on the sourceforge Maxima site
works fine just the way it is.
Respectfully,
Paul Bowyer
