Which version of linux are you running? I use Fedora (core 6 and core
8) and 'yum' works fine.
As root, just type
yum install gcl
Note: I also observed that gcl runs faster than all the other lisps I
tried, but compiling maxima code takes a long time. On the other hand,
cmucl is not much slower and compile times are not bad.
