Hmm. What does
find /usr/share/maxima/5.20.1 -name eigen.\*
display?
If it finds something, e.g. /usr/share/maxima/5.20.1/share/whatever/eigen.mac
what happens if you try to load that? e.g.
load ("/usr/share/maxima/5.20.1/share/whatever/eigen.mac");
I'm running out of ideas, maybe someone else can help.
Please let's continue this on the maxima list instead of
replying to me only.
best
