Hmm, I guess the defsystem stuff for fft failed;
can you please post the output from load(fft) ?
For the record, load(fft) works for me as expected with
Maxima 5.20.0 + Windows Vista.
What happens if you try load(affine) ?
Do you get the same error?

As a work-around with the current version of Maxima,
try load("fft-core.lisp") (the fft package just loads that
one Lisp file).
