I don't know if it helps in anyway but I badly needed the procedure
gro{e}bner as in the affine package and I tried to discover why
load(affine) didn't work in the maxima 5.15.0 version under
Windows 5.1 (SP 2).
It turned out that the GCL compiler could not find a folder
"binary-gcl" to put all the *.o files.
I simply created an empty folder with that name in the same affine
folder containing the shared package and "presto" a call to
load(affine) filled this folder with the *.o files.
It remains that a subsequent call to load(affine) generates a console
message when loading each of these files and a rather annoying
clogging up of the screen. Thus it would still be better to have
a compiled affine package included in a future release of maxima
and behaving in a less verbose way when loaded.
Regards,
Rene'.
