The error is because asdf can not see maxima.asd although it's in the current directory. So I added this line before the call to asdf to make maxima:
-eval '(push "/files3/home/sahosse/sage/spkg/build/maxima-5.23.2.p3/ src/src/" asdf:*central-registry*)' \ -eval '(asdf:make-build :maxima :type :fasl :move-here ".")' \ and now I get this error: ;;; Loading "/files3/home/sahosse/sage/spkg/build/maxima-5.23.2.p3/src/ src/maxima.asd" An error occurred during initialization: In function PATHNAME, the value of the only argument is NIL which is not of the expected type (OR FILE-STREAM STRING PATHNAME). I hope that helps in spotting the problem. On Mar 2, 2:03 am, "syd.lavas...@gmail.com" <syd.lavas...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi there, > > I saw people talking about thiserroron Lion.
