Hi Andrey,
I used the late 1.0.5 releases and 1.0.6. I'd be happy to try again.
Under darwinports, it's easy to make 'variants' so maxima could build
with clisp, sbcl or openmcl, at the user's choice. Recent releases
of SBCL seem to be very reliable on OS X, once some of the build
problems were fixed.
At the moment, I understand that gcl is broken on OS X.
Should I try sbcl and openmcl with maxima 5.9.2 and report the
results to the list?
Best Wishes,
Greg
