This is corrected in version 5.31.2 (version in openSUSE 13.1 oss is 5.31.1). I would like to submit a maintenance update for maxima to version 5.31.3 (which has additional minor fixes) that takes care of this serious error. From changelog in my branch package (home:badshah400:branches:Education/maxima, and shortly to be inducted into the devel project itself): ------------------------------------------------------------------- Tue Nov 12 01:26:54 UTC 2013 - badshah400@gmail.com - Update to version 5.31.3: + Guard against redefinition of macro with-compilation-unit (on GCL) + Fix Postscript plotting on windows + Ensure that build works with non-GNU Make - Changes from version 5.31.2: + Workaround incorrect float literal parsing by GCL + Use DESTDIR for building - Drop maxima-fix-DESTDIR.patch; incorporated upstream (also drop autoconf and automake build requires required due to patch). ----------------------------------------- Please let me know if it all right to submit this update (I will put in this bug number in the changelog).
