The positional derivative package lives in /share/contrib/pdiff. Since
this folder
is missing from your file_search_lisp, I'm guessing that your maxima
predates
pdiff (it was added to Maxima about 14 months ago). To fix this, download
the
five files in
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/maxima/maxima/share/contrib/pdiff/
and place them in a directory that your maxima can find---you could put
them in /share/contrib. Or you could create a /share/contrib/pdiff
directory
and add this directory to file_search_lisp.

Could you please tell me if I need to download the source code from cvs

I am getting the following error when loading this package.
