Maxima on Fedora or RHEL?

OK, I've compiled gcl-2.5.3 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. I used
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-ansi
make
make install
Everything seems OK. Then I checked out the cvs maxima, did
./bootstrap
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gcl
make
I got the following error message:

;    - Compiling module "command-line"
;      - Loading binary file "binary-gcl/command-line.o"

Error in IN-PACKAGE [or a callee]: A package error occurred on

I also tried to rebuild gcl with --enable-readline, but building maxima 
fails in exactly the same manner.

Any further suggestions?

(by the way, clisp does not build on RHEL: clisp executable is produced, 
and dumps core the first time it is called by make).
