I just got home from work. I started mine up before I left and it 
compiled and installed flawlessly with no changes other than setting the 
gcl version to 2.6.7 in the top-level Makefile. I do this mostly because 
I haven't been able to get any of the 2.6.8 versions to build on my 
64-bit system and don't want different versions.

I get my source from SVN rather than GIT -- could that be making mine 
work? The last five changes in the changelog are

20071208 tpd src/algebra/axserver.spad add makeDBPage, getShow
20071208 tpd src/interp/http.lisp add replace-entities
20071206 tpd src/interp/daase.lisp find the right sourcefile (bug 7020)
20071205 wxh src/algebra/mathml fix empty list on continuedFraction bug 
(7014)
20071205 wxh src/algebra/mathml remove code to eat %% (bug 7016)

If you want, I'll do an "emerge info" and send you the results off list 
 -- no point in putting to much Gentoo-ism into the list. :)

On a totally unrelated note -- what's the lightest-weight open source 
CAS that will do differentiation and high-school-level integration? I'm 
getting one of those Give One Get One laptops from the One Laptop Per 
Child organization and I want to put a CAS on it. I know Maxima will 
work, so unless there's something lighter, that's what I'm going with.
