Hi
load(coeflist) produces the following error:
"
Load failed for
/usr/share/maxima/5.10.0/share/contrib/format/coeflist.lisp
-- an error. Quitting. To debug this try debugmode(true);
"
I am using Maxima 5.10.0 and clisp.
Note: gcl does not let me call functions with a
high number of arguments.
My original problem was to write a multivariate polynomial
as a sum of monomials with coefficients free of the variables.
