Well, apparently Maxima successfully loaded its index file
(maxima-index.lisp) which told it to look for maxima.info-5 ...

Is maxima.info-5 actually present in /usr/local/info ?
Is it somewhere else? e.g. /usr/info, /usr/local/info/es
If it was not installed anywhere -- is it somewhere in the build
directory? The info files are in the maxima-5.14.0.tar.gz and
maxima-5.14.0-i386-1_slack11.0.tgz at Sourceforge, so it should
not be necessary to rebuild the info files. Did you obtain the
source code from one of those tar files or did you obtain it from CVS?

What does
:lisp *MAXIMA-INFODIR*
:lisp *MAXIMA-LANG-SUBDIR*
show?


Sorry I can't be more helpful.
