Temporary files are written into the directory named by maxima_tempdir. You can set maxima_tempdir to "/tmp" or something like that.
My advice is to close this report, as it isn't a bug from the Maxima developers point of view. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
