    No "Portfile" was attached to this message. I cannot log into sourceforge because they changed to multifactor authentication and my login no longer works and they don't disclose what authenticator app I am supposed to use. I have contacted them about this. No response yet. Perhaps github would be a better repo since it is more widely used and easier to log into.

    Robert, Thanks for getting back to me on this time critical bug. The M1 system I have access to belongs to a student so I am not really in a position to make it available to the developers. I have worked with Guntar in the past on these kinds of issues with some success. brew capability on new Macs has been deprecated somewhat due to Apple's protecting the filesystem from ransomware, etc. I have gotten the MacPorts install to work just well enough that students can proceed on a limited basis, they...

    I'm wondering if a similar issue could be affecting using the Maxima kernel from Jupyter notebooks. I've tried twice on MacOS to get that running according to the github instructions and it just didn't work. I think there is great promise for running Maxima from Jupyter, because that places it close to Python applications, ML and AI development. This proximity could help all three, since a rising tide floats all boats. And it insures hardware platform independence. Or I could just wait a year......

    echo $LANG gives me en_US.UTF-8 So does this mean that something else was causing the problem and I accidentally fixed it?

    See also thread 39: https://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/support-requests/39/ This is a really important thread to the larger MacOS community. I have a MacBook Pro running OS X El Capitan, which is locked down a few versions back from the current MacOS Mojave. I spent an entire night trying to get every wxMaxima from 5.36 to 5.42 running without success - even compiling from sources. In desperation I found the enigmatic thread 39 and entered the line: (setf sb-impl::default-external-format :utf-8) into...
