Dieter, I tried the stuff from the end of the 5.16 release branch a
few days ago with Clisp, SBCL, CMUCL, GCL, and ECL, and only
the Clisp version reports Bessel function errors (in rtest14
if I remember correctly). So I think to make further progress you
might want to install Clisp & build Maxima with that.
(CMUCL reports one further error --- something to do with the
size of a fixnum or something like that.)
Thanks a lot for your help,
Robert Dodier
