[Nix-dev] maxima broken (was: SVN commit: nix - r28845 - nixpkgs/trunk/pkgs/development/compilers/sbcl)

[Peter Simons]

Hi Michael,

 > Update SBCL

it appears that SBCL update broke Maxima. When I run it on Linux/x86_64,
the result is this:

  fatal error encountered in SBCL pid 31679(tid 140737354098432):
  can't load .core for different runtime, sorry

I guessed that maybe the wrapper script used by Maxima is broken in some
way, so I figured out the appropriate command line and ran it directly,
but the result is the same:

  /nix/store/jylnl3mk4idzyw5zb78maprwsyxynv83-sbcl-1.0.51/bin/sbcl \
    --core \
    /nix/store/22gcg82x0787anzpaz0mjryaba5n1lag-maxima-5.25.0/lib/maxima/5.25.0/binary-sbcl/maxima.core \
    --noinform --end-runtime-options --eval '(cl-user::run)' \
    --end-toplevel-options
  fatal error encountered in SBCL pid 540(tid 140737354098432):
  can't load .core for different runtime, sorry

My lisp-fu is very weak, and I am at a loss how to debug let alone fix
this issue. Do you have any idea what might be causing this failure?

Note that the Maxima build itself worked fine:

  http://hydra.nixos.org/build/1283060

So I assume that the problem lies in the way SBCL is called?

Take care,
Peter
