Hello,

This package has not been modified in the last three years. Works for me
with Debian+Maxima2.29 (clisp and sbcl) as expected. I can't figure out
the origin of the problem.

Have you tried to load it via load("drawdf.mac") ?

You can also remove the file and copy it again
in /usr/share/maxima/5.2x/share/diffequations
and see what happens.

Does file_search("drawdf.mac") return the path to drawdf.mac?

Do you have a file in your working folder also called drawdf?

Could you send us the output of build_info() ?

Just a set of random ideas.
