Hm, on the command line it doesn't work (system
becomes dysfunctional):
---------------------------
Maxima 5.15.0 http://maxima.sourceforge.net
Using Lisp CLISP 2.45 (2008-05-15)
Distributed under the GNU Public License. See the file COPYING.
Dedicated to the memory of William Schelter.
The function bug_report() provides bug reporting information.
(%i1) :lisp (defun add-lineinfo (x))
WARNING: DEFUN/DEFMACRO: redefining function ADD-LINEINFO in top-level, was defined in
/home/csoliver/SAT-Algorithmen/OKplatform/ExternalSources/builds/Maxima/maxima-5.15.0/src/binary-clisp/nparse.fas
ADD-LINEINFO
(%i1) 10!;
Improper name or value in functional position:
false
-- an error. To debug this try debugmode(true);
-------------------------------
Perhaps it needs to replace the original definition of
add-lineinfo in nparse.lisp, before building?
