Add an spkg-check file for Pari

[drkirkby]

John Cremona remarked on #9281 that Pari had a self test that could be run from make test-all, so an spkg-check file should be added to do this. I will take care of it. Hopefully John can review it.

Marked "duplicate/invalid/wontfix" because it is now in #9343. -- Jeroen Demeyer

[cremona]

Dave, I suggest that you leave this to be done as part of the #9343 upgrade. I have already started working on this, including reporting some issues with the testing script upstream to par-dev.

I thought you would like this plan -- and pleasantly surprised to see that after fixing bugs they add tests to the suite.

Replying to cremona:

No problem.

I actually get some failures. I'll attach the spkg-check file as an attachment, since I'd already done it. It will save you the hassle.

I actually get some failures on my OpenSolaris machine. In fact, whilst Sage builds on OpenSolaris, it crashes at startup. So perhaps I might look at Pari as a possible source of trouble.

spkg-check for Pari

[drkirkby]

I note there is an error in spkg-install The very first line has some unwanted characters, with what displays as "B1;2000;0c".

I leave you to sort that out!

drkirkby@hawk:~/sage-4.5/spkg/standard/pari-2.3.5.p1$ head  spkg-install

# As of PARI 2.3.3, the compiler flag -fPIC is not added on Solaris, but it
# needs to be if using gcc. I assume the equivalent will be needed on 
# other compilers.

For an explanation of the errors see my post to pari-dev at ​http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/archives/pari-dev-1007/threads.html and Karim's reply which I have not yet absorbed.

I have been compiling pari and running its tests for about 20 years...

There is an spkg-check in #9343 and it seems to work, so positive review.
