Hi,
the problem looks as a very strange one
Please look at maxima.el at function maxima-start.
There is no special arguments about lisp version.
On my system I use sbcl and gcl and sbcl is main one. If i want to run gcl version
I change sbcl to gcl at the /usr/bin/maxima script at
.........
fi
else
MAXIMA_IMAGESDIR="$MAXIMA_DEFAULT_IMAGESDIR"
fi
MAXIMA_DEFAULT_LISP=sbcl
# If the the binary directory for the default lisp is not present,
# choose the first one we find.
if [ ! -d "$MAXIMA_IMAGESDIR/binary-$MAXIMA_DEFAULT_LISP" ]; then
MAXIMA_DEFAULT_LISP=`ls -1 $MAXIMA_IMAGESDIR 2>/dev/null | head -n 1 | sed 's/binary-//'`
fi
if [ -z "$MAXIMA_LISP" ]; then
MAXIMA_LISP=$MAXIMA_DEFAULT_LISP
fi
}
.................
Please look at it on your machine!
