Thank you.

I try also with sbcl on Debian and Maxima has been compiled with success, but
when I write some mathematical equations and press enter, then I got very
strange output, e.g.:

e: x^2+3*x-4;

I got:

2
x + 3 x - 4

With such output is impossible to work efficiently. It should be of course:

2
x + 3 x - 4

Is here maybe somebody who compiled any of the compiler: ccl, clisp, cmucl,
ecl, sbcl and then Maxima and it work correctly? Especially in Debian Lenny?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you very much :-)
I don't know that I can do it that in Debian. Thank you.

I yesterday download SBCL, the latest version
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/sbcl/sbcl/1.0.40/sbcl-1.0.40-source.tar.bz2
and compiled it successful without any problems.

Then I compile without any problems also Maxima 5.21.1 and install it in my
home folder. It works :-) One problem was that there no support for readline
in console. I found a solution on google with package 'rlwrap'
http://www.debian-administration.org/article/Providing_better_editing_support_for_sbcl_via_readline
and this site
http://weitz.de/completions.html
I do it for sbcl and maxima and now everything works excellent.

I also install libwxbase2.8-dev by aptitude and download wxMaxima
https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxmaxima/files/wxMaxima/0.8.5/wxMaxima-0.8.5.tar.gz/download
and also compile it with successful and now I can work very comfortable with
new maxima and wxmaxima.

Thank you all for help.

Zbigniew

That's a bit of a fallacy. After Stable is released, "feature bugs"
don't get fixed, only security bugs.

If while Lenny was Testing no one ever filed a relevant RC bug
against Maxima, or the D-D didn't consider it RC and he had too much
other stuff on his plate, then the bug would not have gotten fixed.
