Thank you Raymond and Robert for you answers. Just for the record, I
were able to load lapack by starting maxima with a larger heap as you
both suggested. The incantation that worked was is the following
(maxima with sbcl):
maxima --lisp-options='--dynamic-space-size 2048'
Raymond, you were right. The problem on OSX where a completely
unrelate bug due tu macports.
Thank you again for your suggestions!
