FW: [Maxima] New release candidate with windows installer available

Your suggestion looks very plausible to me. It also
explains why comiler tets passes to me on two
Windows installation and fails on others - on these
very two Windows installs I have mingw and msys
installed before. On all others (on all the test fails)
no any ming/msys/cigwin.   But when I copied heder
files acciording to your recomendations -  nothing
changed - compile(f) still fails.  Maybe I'm doing
something wrong?  What is the proper place for
the headers - Maxima-5.9.0.rc4/include I suppose?
