I downloaed the precompiled version from Sourceforge site. As far as i have
tested it, it worked OK. But later on i downloaded the source code of
maxima-5.25.1 from Sourceforge and recompiled it with my version of sbcl
SBCL 1.0.51.0-a546163 because otherwise i had problems running maxima under
slime. At present everything works for sure.
The only problem i had noticed in the precompiled maxima is about the html
documentation, which is incomplete. In fact one needs to obtain GNU sed to
correctly compile the documentation.
