[Ecls-list] Fwd: Sage 4.8 build failed: Error: Failed to build Maxima as an ECL library.

[Dima Pasechnik]

Hi,
this is about a problem with building Maxima as an ECL library using
ECL 11.1.1 on a rather old Redhat system with gcc 4.1.2.
Is ECL tested on that kind of systems?
Does this issue look familiar?
Thanks,
Dima

Well, I don't see what goes wrong there (except that the compiler you
use is so outdated that surely Sage is not tested with it --- version
alone does not say this, as the same version on MacOSX is a different
beast). You mention "people talking about this error on Lion".
Any links to any posts/forums on this?

I guess it is an ECL bug (or feature :)). I'll cc'in this to the ECL
list, just in case they are aware of these issues.
