Yes. I'm using maxima 5.13.0 compiled with SBCL (Steel Bank Common Lisp),
which is default in FreeBSD ports tree.
OK. I recompile it with GCL.
Anyway, which is the best or mostly used lisp language, because I have 4
choices to compile maxima under FreeBSD:
1. CLISP (Build with Clisp)
2. CMUCL (Build with CMU Common Lisp)
3. GCL (Build with GNU Common Lisp)
4. SBCL (Build Steel Bank Common Lisp) [DEFAULT]
?
