Dear Ishida san,
Two words in your error message caught my eyes:
\verb| and \linebreak[0]
which are part of breqn package symbols.
Are you using imaxima?
If that is the case, you have a chance to make csetup() work.
Please try imaxima-imath-1.0.tar.gz .
This version implements specific workaround for this issue.
You can download the above file from the web site:
http://members3.jcom.home.ne.jp/imaxima/
The recently released maxima-5.18.0 contains imaxima 1.0 in it,
so that is another way to go. After the make install of maxima 5.18.0,
you need to add:
/usr/local/share/maxima/5.18.0/emacs/
in the Emacs load-path variable.
