Hi
The reason of the make error is
a gcl-related problem because maxima
under latest (virtualized) Ubuntu works
correctly if clisp is used instead of gcl.
The GCL I was using is the one that
comes with the latest Ubuntu, namely
2.6.7 ANSI (ansi mode enabled by dpkg-reconfigure gcl").
The real reason remains obscure but at least
there is a way to make maxima work.
The virtual environment has probably no effect
on the compilation.
