As a temporary fix replace in maxima-package.lisp
;; detect which version of clisp REGEXP we have
#+clisp
(if (find-package "REGEXP")
by
;; detect which version of clisp REGEXP we have
#+(clisp ignore)
(if (find-package "REGEXP")
Explanation: Clisp's REGEXP:REGEXP-COMPILE (which you usually get only
with `clisp -K full' or some customized memory image) has a different
signature now (see Clisp ChangeLog entry dated 2003-03-30), which
causes the error above. There's now an :IGNORE-CASE keyword argument,
which makes the test in maxima-package.lisp sort of pointless.
Then again, AFAIK regexps are required only by cl-info, which uses
NREGEX. So I guess that in spite of the test being there, Clisp's
REGEXP package is not used at all in Maxima.
