Valery, thanks for this report. Do I understand correctly that you
are working from the 5.16.1 tar.gz ??

We haven't changed the lapack build or load process. (Sorry, I was
working on other stuff.) I think you can work around this problem:
(1) run maxima as superuser and load(lapack) which will create
all the compiled files, which can then be loaded by ordinary users;
or (2) copy the lapack directory to a user-writable location (e.g. /tmp)
and load it from there. Sorry that this is still a problem.
