Thank you for bringing this to the attention of the Maxima list. I
looked at the bug page below. I am having trouble seeing exactly what
the problem(s) is(are). Here are a few facts:
1) Maxima 5.9.0 requires at least one of (gcl,clisp,cmucl). More than
one lisp implementation can be used -- the compile will use all
specified lisps. The lisp to use for a maxima session can be selected at
runtime.
2) Older versions of gcl (e.g., 2.4.0) will not work. Clisp 2.30 will
cause runtime problems. Lisp version information can be found in the
file README.lisps.
3) GCL is a separate project from Maxima. If you are having trouble
compiling GCL, you will have to talk to the GCL folks.
Is there a specific question you would like to ask?
