This package has been adopted to the Arch repository:

extra/fricas

Thank you, @serkho, for maintaining it on AUR for so many years!

Thanks for the heads up @jdn06, it seems the URL was changed recently. I updated PKGBUILD.

You need to correct source URL and replace https://github.com/fricas/fricas/releases/download/$pkgver/fricas-$pkgver.full.tar.bz2" by https://github.com/fricas/fricas/releases/download/$pkgver/fricas-$pkgver-full.tar.bz2"

@serkho Thank you - and for your packaging of FriCAS. I ended up doing exactly that: using git to create a local repository, compiling with makepkg and then installing with pacman -U. All good and I didn't need any of the helpers at all. (Now I have to work out how to provide fonts for HyperDoc; the fonts it wants don't seem to be available to it, and the default fonts are too tiny on my screen to be usable. And I'll also look into jfricas and hunchentoot (SBCL webserver) for use with Jupyter.)

@amca01 I just downloaded the latest snapshot and built it with makepkg successfully. So I guess it has something to do with trizen. Looking into its readme I can see it has a --debug flag which might help you to debug the issue.

@neven Many thanks for your reply, and for the heads-up about mentioning AUR helpers. I didn't realize that issue (about potential infinite numbers of helpers, and hence impolite to mention which one) and in my innocence I imagined that it may have been helpful. But in respect of my particular issue, I can see now that the helper is, or should be, irrelevant. Anyway, I'll take your expert advice, with again many thanks.

@amca01 Your best option is to troubleshoot. This means you should use the AUR without a helper (i.e. just run makepkg). I guess your issue is caused by an AUR helper bug, so this may even fix it for you. BTW, consider that the amount of AUR helpers is potentially unlimited, so mentioning which AUR helper you use is in fact impolite when reporting a bug or asking for assistance. What helper one uses is really noise at best, at worst it could be interpreted as demanding other people to try out your random helper.

I've tried downloading and installing FriCAS using trizen as my AUR helper; all went well until after some minutes of work it stopped with

:: Unable to find a built tarball for fricas.

What's my best option here? (I know I could download and compile FriCAS from its source code, but that seems like overkill.) I know this is a very niche package, and if this is a case of my working it out for myself, I'll understand. But as always, advice is very welcome.

@neven, thanks. I've updated the package, let's see how it works

neven commented on 2019-06-08 01:27 (UTC)

My suggestion to set memory limits so as to be effectively unlimited was not good.

This seems to work correctly instead: in the "build" bash function in the PKGBUILD:

./configure --prefix=/usr '--with-lisp=sbcl --control-stack-size 512 --dynamic-space-size 6000'
