Hi,
before doing "make install", you must have done "make" in some
directory. Go to that directory where you built maxima-5-24post; you
should have in that directory a script called xmaxima-local. Executing
that script you should be able to run xmaxima 5.24post interacting with
the maxima 5.24post that you just built.
Best regards,
