Well, I hope it could, 'cause otherwise it won't run after a "make clean"! I don't know how it's supposed to run, but copying all the necessary files to under /usr/local/lib/maxima or somewhere should be good enough. Thanks! * Making a package only seems like a good idea until you consider the * restrictive license on maxima. Okay...I added a NO_PACKAGE and a note to look at ports/LEGAL to the Makefile. * (I must confess I broke down and bought a copy of Mathematica for Windows, * so now I spend a lot less time on fixing the freeware math packages * themselves and more time doing math.) Hehe.... ;) Satoshi
