It was just a typo in my previous email.
I still get the follwing error message:
f : ?open(?"/home/caruso/Work/code/maxima/test.out")$
Maxima encountered a Lisp error:
Error during processing of --eval option "(cl-user::run)":
The value |/home/caruso/Work/code/maxima/test.out|
is not of type
(OR (VECTOR CHARACTER) (VECTOR NIL) BASE-STRING PATHNAME STREAM).
Automatically continuing.
To reenable the Lisp debugger set *debugger-hook* to nil.
