Put the file topoly_solver.mac in /usr/local/share/maxima/5.13.0
/share/contrib/
If that doesn't work, put it anywhere and use a full pathname to load it.
I think the problem you have is with your copy of topoly.lisp. We fixed
recently
fixed a bug in it. (I'm guessing that you are not using Maxima compiled
with
GCL.) Get the new topoly.lisp and also place in .../share/contrib.
I'm sorry about all this hassle--we really do try to make things work. Code
in /share/contrib isn't as well tested as other Maxima code. Also, be
aware that topoly is undocumented for a reason---we (that's mostly me, I
suppose)
might decide to change the way topoly works somewhat. So if you use it in
a project, you'll need to live with any changes that we make to topoly.
