Hi Karim,
Recently I had a need for the Logarithmic Integral. I could not find it in Pari. Here is my rendition. I am assuming Euler() is similar to the Euler2() below which has the zeta function. It seems to be working ok at least compared to Maple. Can you implement an Li, Ei function?

The Li function can be obtained from Pari with Li(x) = -einti(log(1/x))


einti(x) is the same as maple Ei(1,x)
But I cannot duplicate maple Ei(x)
Pi(10^22) = 783964159847056303858
19:10) gp > Li(4*10^22) - 783964159847056303858
%33 = 5101648384.715526417
%32 = 783964159852157952242.7155264
19:10) gp > Li(4*10^22) - 783964159847056303858
%33 = 5101648384.715526417
