The tar.gz file has the source code in it, so by itself it doesn't
yield an installed Maxima; it can be compiled if you have a Lisp
development environment set up. Maybe that's the case.
Aside from installing a new version of Maxima, maybe all you need
to do is put load(orthopoly) in your .maxima-init file instead of
load(specfun) .
Not sure where to go from here.

I'll try to figure out something. I'm sure we'll do something like
that again so it would be good to have some kind of policy.
