You can't use the released version 5.9.0 of Maxima with a current
version of CLISP, anyway, since there is at least one critical issue
http://www.math.utexas.edu/pipermail/maxima/2003/005141.html
and several minor annoyances, which have been fixed in CVS Maxima.
Please use either
1) the current CVS development version of Maxima with CLISP 2.31 or
2.32
2) the released Maxima 5.9.0 together with CLISP 2.29 (as recommended
in README.lisps)
In principle, there should be no problem to compile Maxima with the
CLISP base image, at least in case (1).
