Mathics maintainer here.

The installation instructions on mathics.org are out of date (that page is maintained by the previous maintainer of Mathics).

There is a new guide here: https://github.com/mathics/Mathics/wiki/Installing

In particular you no longer need gmp. You do however need python-setuptools (which is why mathics isn't installing for you). Instructions for installing setuptools here https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools

Let me know if you have any more questions

I'm now looking to install

libgmp3-dev

It's not obvious what is meant by libgmp3 - the gmp extension contains libgmp.so.10, libgmp.so.3 would be from the year +/- 2000...

"no module named setuptools"

@sn6uv I'm unable to run mathicsserver. I run

sudo mathicsserver -p 314

and when visiting it with Firefox I get the following error.

This should fix the error but doesn't http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21129020/how-to-fix-unicodedecodeerror-ascii-codec-cant-decode-byte

In tinycorelinux you have to run the following 1st.

rm /usr/local/lib/python2.7/SocketServer.py
cp /tmp/tcloop/python/usr/local/lib/python2.7/SocketServer.py /usr/local/lib/python2.7/SocketSerever.py

Then you remove `import sys` from `/usr/local/lib/python2.7/SocketServer.py` and add the following to the top

import sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf8')

I'm in the process of creating a tinycorelinux iso so people can run it on Windows through VirtualBox.
