Maxima 5.9.0.9rc1 available



A smooth installation on Linux Slackware 9.0.
  run_testsuite();
	.....
	No unexpected errors found.
	real time       :     23.310 secs
	run-gbc time    :      6.970 secs
	child run time  :      1.730 secs
	gbc time        :      0.780 secs
	
The installation following directions in INSTALL.lisp was a partial
success. 
  Had to create "src/binary-gcl", "src/binary-gcl/numeric" and
	"src/binary-gcl/numeric/slatec" by hand;
	(user::run) produces a maxima sessin within lisp (mine is
	gcl-2.6.4 ANSI) that runs fine, but no maxima executable in
	"src/binary-gcl" found.
