On UNIX systems, I think you need to run Maxima as root once and do a
load(lapack), to let it do its compiling and deposit binary files in the
share directory (not normally writeable by non-root users.) After that, you
should be able to load(lapack) as a non-privileged user.

Subject: Lapack in maxima 5.12.0?
Well, I've finally upgraded my old 5.10.0 the the newest release - all very
nice; well done to all! And I'm very pleased to see Lapack in this release.
But, here's what happens if I try to load it:
(%i1) load(lapack);
0 errors, 0 warnings
0 errors, 0 warnings
0 errors, 0 warnings
0 errors, 0 warnings
0 errors, 0 warnings
Load failed for /usr/share/maxima/5.12.0/share/lapack/load-lapack.lisp
-- an error. To debug this try debugmode(true);
What is going on here? How do I load lapack, and are there any maxima
commands for calling lapack routines? There doesn't seem to be any help
available.
Thanks,
Alasdair
