Using Ubuntu 16.04 on AWS
Moodle 3.4.1+
Stack 2017121800
And amateurishly running Maxima 5.37.2 ... since it installed so easily...
It's working. Questions look and behave properly.
In settings I removed "distrib" from the list of libraries)
In Stack Healthcheck "Create Maxima Image" fails
Create Optimised Maxima Image FAILED : [Uncached connection failed.]
I realize 5.37.2 isn't supported in STACK
Is there an easy way to remove/upgrade?
Is there a workaround to Create a Maxima image?
Thanks!
I would recommend upgrading to maxima 5.38.1 or newer. There are instructions for building an Ubuntu package from the repositories here https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=360508&parent=1455982. I am not sure if that will fix the issue with building the image, but is worth a try.
Thanks Daniel:
I will give that a try.
I am quite new to the package management
Is there a way of updating the package without building?
I tried installing the maxima binaries from Ubuntu 17.04, and there was a dependency problem (which i mostly expected). Rebuilding from source is really the correct thing to do here. You should not usually run a linked binary that is not compiled for your specific distribution or system. The build tools are usually very good at resolving dependencies.
