How badly is Maxima broken vis-a-vis OpenBSD? Maxima requires clisp, which is currently marked i386-only. You can try to update the clisp port to a newer version and see if that works on amd64.      |

There are about 6 different versions of lisp which Maxima can use. I am working my way through them to see if any will build on OpenBSD. Gcl configures, but errors out during build for reasons I have not yet figured out. I also just found out about another symbolic package called Axiom which has some tensor support, (and very good documentation, I think. See http://axiom.axiom-developer.org) but it also requires Lisp, so Lisp is definitely a stumbling block. -- |

I have found another open source CAS package specifically for tensors (TELA), but this package has many requirements for other software. See http://www.ava.fmi.fi/prog/tela.html for details. -- |
