Should be enough to just download commac.lisp and mactex.lisp
(changes were made to both of these files) to /usr/share/maxima/5.9.3/src/
and then load(mactex); load(commac); should find them.
Updated files are not detected automatically -- you need to issue load
explicitly. You don't need to recompile, I'm pretty sure, although I don't
know if it is universally guaranteed that interpreted = compiled.
Maybe someone else wants to weigh in on this one.
The log message for r1.43 mactex.lisp
(http://maxima.cvs.sourceforge.net/maxima/maxima/src/mactex.lisp)
has some more info and some examples you might want to try.
