Upstream renamed mathics to mathics3: https://github.com/Mathics3/mathics-core/releases/tag/10.0.0
I'm in the process of uploading new AUR packages and sending merge request:
mathics -> mathics3
mathics-scanner -> mathics3-scanner
mathics-django -> mathics3-django
mathicsscript -> mathics3-script
I'm getting failed test for the new version (9.0.0) and I reported it upstream: https://github.com/Mathics3/mathics-core/issues/1498
This is related to @cyanescens previous comment, where SymPy version 1.14 changed the output of that test.
I've updated mathics packages and removed those three tests. Upstream will release an upcoming version adapted to SymPy 1.14, which will also take care of the problematic test.
I get the same warnings and errors than @xiota at installation when testing python libraries, plus this one:
FAILED test/builtin/numbers/test_calculus.py::test_private_doctests_calculus[Integrate[1/(x^5+1), x]-None-RootSum[1 + 5 #1 + 25 #1 ^ 2 + 125 #1 ^ 3 + 625 #1 ^ 4&, Log[x + 5 #1] #1&] + Log[1 + x] / 5-None] - AssertionError
@xiota I cannot reproduce your error. You can try creating an issue upstream to get some help. Meanwhile, you can also just comment out the check() function in the PKGBUILD, and see if you can still use mathics for your use cases.
I'm getting check failures. Don't know how to interpret. mathics.log
@xiota Thanks for the tip. I hesitated before, because there's no pyproject.toml, but it seems that it's reverting to using setup.py without issues.
@coxackie I don't think requires.txt was the problem to begin with, but I couldn't reproduce your issue. I hope this update to 6.0.4 coupled with the new installation method are enough to fix your installation. Otherwise, please let me know.
