Well it doesn't share your opinion "doesn't need to be compiled"; but
after compiling everything it works fine with gcl! The second go-round
(reloading maxima) does a lot of visible loading that I didn't see with
clisp, but it didn't take long and only does it once.
After unloading (using yum) maxima-clisp and loading maxima-gcl the
directory still didn't exist, and I had to create it by hand; but that
was all I had to do.
