The correct syntax would be:
/usr/local/bin/xmaxima -u 5.17.1
or simply:
xmaxima -u 5.17.1
xmaxima simply passes the -u option to maxima. But first, you might want
to make sure maxima can find the versions you have, with the command:
maxima --list-avail
it should show you a list of the various versions you have installed.
Something such as:
version 5.16post, lisp sbcl
version 5.17post, lisp clisp
version 5.17post, lisp gcl
which means I can run version 5.17post (clisp) with "-u 5.17post" and if
I want the 5.17post version running GCL: "-u 5.17post -l gcl".
