I just compiled maxima from ports using default settings under FreeBSD 8-STABLE (updated 12/24/2011) and had no problems with the compile (i.e., I just su'd to root, did a "cd /usr/ports/math/maxima;make"). This was under the amd64 version of FreeBSD (hardware is a Tyan S4882 quad Opteron). I just upgraded from 7.4 to 8.2-RELEASE and then, as usually, updated to the "STABLE" version using "cvs". I usually don't upgrade to a newer version until it becomes obviously necessary due to either features I need in the newer release or the ending of support for the version I'm currently using. I wonder what versions you've been trying to install, since I've rarely had problems installing from ports when upgrading as described above. Mike Squires mikes at siralan.org UN*X at home since 1986
