That document is several years out of date, unfortunately.
See http://maxima.sourceforge.net/docs.shtml
for an up-to-date version of the reference manual.
(Well, almost; I guess someone, maybe me, needs to upload the
5.12.0 version of the reference manual ....)

The gamalg package was cut out some years ago because
it was not licensed appropriately. I believe there was a discussion
on the mailing list about that. Googling for gamalg might find the
emails, or you could look in the mbox archives at:
