NEW: yacas-1.0.55

[olt@…]

math/yacas 1.0.55 description Yet Another Computer Algebra System long_description YACAS is an easy to use, general purpose Computer Algebra\

System, a program for symbolic manipulation of mathematical\ expressions. It uses its own programming language designed for\ symbolic as well as arbitrary-precision numerical computations. The\ system has a library of scripts that implement many of the symbolic\ algebra operations - new algorithms can be easily added to the library.

huh? This one builds fine on OS-X 10.2 with gcc 3.3 but won't do with the default gcc 3.1... hmm... Does yacas depend on something other than perl5.8? This is propably the reason it works with 3.3 here, as I've propably compiled the used lib with 3.3; has someone with a less messed up Darwin6.8 tried to build this one? -mww

After removing the perl 5.8 dependency (appears okay with 5.6), it built fine on my 10.2.8/gcc3.1 system. I went through destroot phase, which found that bin/yacas linked against libdl which may be the dependency for which you seek. Two other issues are that it appears to do further building during destroot (may be a minor issue), and an otool -L on both bin/yacas and lib/libyacas.0.0.0.dylib reveal:

${destroot}/${prefix}/lib/libyacas.0.dylib

so it appears it links against the destroot location as well as the final location...

if it is possible to remove that little linking problem (and perhaps the late building, too), I'd give my o.k. for commit - it installs & runs fine on panther. -mww

talked to Oliver: he currenlty has no access to a Darwin box but will have a look at this Port later;

thanks! commited with new version & test.run implentation;
