It turns out that the problem is that
C:/Documents and Settings/fernando/maxima/binary/binary-gcl/share/lapack/
did not exist, preventing lapack from compiling. mk:defsys is supposed to
create these directories automatically, but ensure-directories-exist
doesn't always work on gcl. I think. I know I've run into problems with
this before with gcl.
Anyone have any ideas on how this can be fixed?
