Building Maxima on Ubuntu running in Sun Virtual Box

Thanks,

Yes I am using GCL on Windows.  I will try closure.com Lisp too.  I am using CMUCL on the VirtualBox with Ubuntu and I 
got Maxima to run today using the Lisp-only technique.  I am still working on this.  The test suite runs with some 
unexpected errors.  I don't have the details right now.

Thanks again,

Rich
