If I start maxima and issue the following command, I get the shown error: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Maxima 5.38.1 http://maxima.sourceforge.net using Lisp GNU Common Lisp (GCL) GCL 2.6.12 Distributed under the GNU Public License.
