build failure with the latest cvs sources



Hi,

I compiled cvs maxima with clisp-2.28 and have the problem that Osman has pointed.
Namely, the variable *MAXIMA-DIRECTORY is not defined. So describe() and plotting   do not work.
What is the correct value for this var now? How to define the path to emacs/site-lisp directory
for configure script? 

All the best,
Valerij
