Hi,
After encountering some problems in cvs maxima-clisp I tried compile it with cmucl.
The problem with on line help is disapeared (though it is still exists for me in clisp-maxima).
Thanks to James for hints about loading packages. It works!
A question about maxima-cmucl. During maxima compilation process I have a lot of warnings.
Maxima start also with warning like,
In: LAMBDA NIL
(MAXIMA::MACSYMA-TOP-LEVEL MAXIMA::INPUT-STRING MAXIMA::BATCH-FLAG)
Warning: Function called with two arguments, but wants exactly zero.
Maxima 5.9.0pre-cvs (with enhancements by W. Schelter).
