in addition to setting the package, I would like to point out that it
is generally unnecessary for you to compile maxima. You should be able
to download a binary executable from sourceforge for linux, windows,
mac, etc.
Any Lisp programs you might write in
addition to maxima's programs can be simply loaded into maxima,
by load ("yourfile.lisp") etc.
It is also unnecessary to compile the programs you load in, though SBCL
probably does not as you load them.
Good luck
