Loading packages into maxima



Dear Maxima experts,

I have build maxima from maxima-pre5.9 CVS directory on my RedHat 7.2 
machine with GCL 2.4.1. 

I did not change and configuration file during instalation and maxima 
shared files are located in /usr/local/share/maxima/5.9.0pre-cvs/ 
directory. I am not able to load these files in the simple way 
e.g. load(physics/units) discussed recently, even worse, my maxima is not 
able to load files from the directory, in which it is actually working. 
The reason is obvious - the variables FILE_SEARCH_MAXIMA,FILE_SEARCH_LISP
are not defined corectly (is that a bug in an instalation scripts?): 

... using paths in FILE_SEARCH_MAXIMA,FILE_SEARCH_LISP
(combined values: [/usr/local/{mac,sym}/###.mac, 
/usr/local/{share,share1,share2,tensor}/###.mc, 
/usr/local/{src,share1,sym}/###.o, /usr/local/{src,share1}/###.lisp, 
/usr/local/{sym}/###.lsp] )

Is there any way, how to change these values for all users or at least in 
personal startup files for single users? It is very inconvenient to change 
it every time I start with my calculations. I did not enter this problem 
in maxima 5.6 and earlier versions.

Thanks for any hints

Faithfully
