There is no need to follow this page just to run FriCAS, to install FriCAS from a binary see this page here, use this only to modify the program or if you are using it on an unusual platform. This is my attempt to compile the program from source.
First, as instructed in the install notes, I found and installed a suitable version of lisp. I am curous how the FriCAS binary runs without lisp? I assume the lisp is included in the binary?
Anyway I ran YaST2 and found a lisp interpreter - clisp, this is one of the accetable prerequisities listed in the install notes, so I installed this.
I ran configure and make using the following script:
# check that clisp is installed # unzip fricas-1.1.4-full.tar.bz2 to /home/martin (no subfolder) # rename fricas-1.1.4 to fricas2 # copy modified files into directory structure cd fricas2 # check if zips directory exists if not create it # mkdir zips cd zips wget http://axiom.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/axiom/trunk/axiom/zips/noweb-2.10a.tgz cd .. ./configure --with-lisp=clisp # make cd src/paste make gphts cd ../.. make make install DESTDIR=/home/martin/fricas3 cd .. |

I proably did not set the directory names or structute very efficienly so, at this stage, I had to move and rename the directories so that they are in the same form as the binaries from the FriCAS distribution.
When I run this newly compiled version of FriCAS it appers to run correctly but very slowly compared to the binaries from the FriCAS distribution. When it is running there is a process AXIOMsys which is taking 100% of one CPU core.
Is this because I used CLISP to make it rather than SBCL?
One difference I did notice is that the 'algebra' directory generated contained '.fas' files wheras the algebra directory from the FriCAS binary contained '.fasl' files.
