Xcas, Getting it to Work... Options

[stuffman]

Well, it doesn't seem many people are as interested in a good calculator for pdaXrom as I am (nobody was able to help me with my "Blit combination not supported" error in TiEMU), but if you are, it would be nice if we can figure out how to at least get Xcas working. I downloaded the only package I could find from http://www-fourier.ujf-grenoble.fr/~parisse/giac.html, but it seems pretty old and fussy; not wanting to work with the newest version of pdaXrom. After it complaining about softfloat.so missing (and installing the package), I now get the "undefined symbol: __divsi3" error message, and can't figure out what to do. Some other threads recommended doing an "export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libgcc_s.so" before executing (these were for other programs, but the same error message), but I just get an error saying the libgcc_s.so is not found.

I'm pretty much a n00b when it comes to linux, so your patience is appreciated. Is there any chance someone is interested in compiling a new version, or at least knows of a workaround to get Xcas to function. It would be really nice to have a solid, GUI'd CAS for pdaXrom (and a working TiEMU would be awesome as well). Any help is much appreciated.
