Maxima: compiling with cmucl, sbcl and gcl.

Hi Vadim,

Thanks for the clarifications.

I have recompiled maxima specifying  as prefix a different directory. 
After the command: make install, I have made a symbolic link maxima5.10 to 
the file /prefix_directory/bin/maxima

Best regards,

C. Frangos.
