After that I'll be happy to help its backporting to hardy. </blockquote><div> There is a merge for this and a bug open re. a segfault during the build. <a href="https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/maxima/+bug/296643">https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/maxima/+bug/296643</a> </div></div> Stefan
