Hi Jaime and Raymond,
Thanks for the fast response and detailed instructions - much appreciated.
I downloaded maxima5.19.2 and following your suggestions I managed to compile
it using cmucl 19d under opensuse 10.3/11.1 without any errors or problems.
(The compile/make/make install steps went so fast that I did not notice the
results of the test suite on the screen. I recall seeing this during my past
compilation with maxima 5.10/5.12 ??)
Thanks again.
Best regards,
C. Frangos.
