Re: [Aimmath-developers] Trig package added to develop_2_1

[Jon B. <jbr...@wo...>]

Ah. Thanks. This may be a change to linalg in Maple 9. I believe that 
LineraAlgebra is "replacing" linalg in Maple 9. linalg will still be 
available but they are not recommending its use. I think something 
changed somewhere in the beta process, because I had AIM working on OS 
X with Maple 9.

I checked and neither Make.mpl or AliceServer.mpl contain an explicit 
with(numtheory). However, commenting out pi := Pi: did the trick and 
has things working again. This is something that will have to be looked 
at with the release version of Maple 9. Thanks.
