>From Readme.rpms:
** maxima-exec_clisp : Maxima compiled with CLISP 2.29. This package
requires the CLISP 2.29 rpm, which is available from
<http://clisp.cons.org/>;
The direct link is
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/clisp/clisp-2.29-1.i386.rpm?download
Remove 2.30 and install the RPM from the link above. (2.30 has known
bugs when running Maxima, which is why we compile against 2.29. The
bugs are fixed in cvs if you need a newer clisp than 2.29 for some
reason, but you will need to compile everything yourself.)
Hope that helps.
