Stefano:
I just tried the following in Xmaxima:
describe(integrate);
?? integrate;
and I got the full output describing the function.
Here's the output from build_info() (but I'm actually running PCLinuxOS
derived from mandriva)
Maxima version: 5.23.2
Maxima build date: 21:3 1/21/2011
Host type: i586-mandriva-linux-gnu
Lisp implementation type: GNU Common Lisp (GCL)
Lisp implementation version: GCL 2.6.8
