As far as I can tell, the only way to specify the Maxima
executable for imaxima is to change the value of
imaxima-maxima-program in imaxima.el. I don't see a way
to specify that on a command line, in ~/.emacs, or in Emacs itself.
Maybe someone else knows better.
You want to set imaxima-maxima-options, I think. This can be done via
M-x customize-variable or you can use elisp's dynamic scope and rebind
it inside a special command:
(defun imaxima-old-maxima ()
(interactive)
(let ((imaxima-maxima-options (format "%s -l ecl -u 5.28.0" imaxima-maxima-options)))
(imaxima)))
