Yes. The problem is that it doesn't work, i.e., it's a known bug.
Getting xmaxima working is on the list of criteria for 5.9.0 I posted
earlier.

I hope it's just a problem with search paths. All search paths in Maxima
should be considered broken until proven otherwise.

These issues are just now reaching the top of my list of todos.
