Compiling lapack requires a fair amount of memory. This means sbcl needs
to be told to start with a larger dynamic space (heap). I don't have
maxima or sbcl available right now, but there are options to do that.

Well, this is strange. I would not expect sbcl to just randomly use
maxima.core from any location. Could be a bug in maxima or in the way you
installed it. Can't debug this any further since I don't have maxima or
sbcl right now.
