The latest tarball (2.6.7) is dated 08/11/2005 and its configure
script contains a syntax error. There are pre-built packages for some
systems, but they may lack the --enable-ansi flag.
Building the CVS code is tricky too---I had missing libraries not
reported by `./configure`, compilation errors from gcc, etc.
I think there should be a warning at
http://maxima.sourceforge.net/lisp.html
