Maxima contains a Lisp translation of Fortran LAPACK.
load(lapack) attempts to compile it and then load it.
Once it is compiled, subsequent calls to load(lapack) just
load the compiled stuff.
I don't remember what happens if the share/lapack directory is
read-only (as it is the case when Maxima is installed to a system
directory). It may be necessary to copy share/lapack somewhere
where you can write it, or run Maxima as superuser just to compile
the LAPACK stuff.
