With the above script there is a better output:
the beginning is now printed under TeXmacs (why ?) 
but there is no (C1).
In the log files there _is_ (C1)!
Please see theses files + the _real screen_ where there is _no_ (C1)
under the file invite.tm (TeXmacs file).

Of course, but it may be interesting for you to compile
maxima under clisp. See beyond.

Here is the method given bt Cliff Yapp is his
beginning "Maxima User's Manual" :

1. gunzip (or bunzip2 or...) your source tree somewhere,
   for example in 
   /usr/local/maxima-5.6-16
2. cd /usr/local/maxima-5.6-16/src
3. for newer versions of clisp (e. g. 2.27.1) you need to change
   two lines in the file compile-clisp.lisp :
(lisp:gc) -> (ext:gc)
 ^^^^         ^^^
(lisp:saveinitmem "maxima-clisp.mem" -> (ext:saveinitmem "maxima-clisp.mem"
 ^^^^                                    ^^^
4. run the following commands:
make clisp-compile CLISP=clisp
make maxima-clisp.mem CLISP=clisp
make test-clisp CLISP=clisp
(I've got error messages for the last command)


5. you can leave everything in  place and then create
 the following script in /usr/local/bin (chmod a+x)
 with the name maxima if you want it by default 
with that name (beware: the script for maxima (compiled against
gcl) is yet in this directory).

#!/bin/sh
export MAXIMA_DIRECTORY=/usr/local/maxima-5.6-16
exec clisp -M ${MAXIMA_DIRECTORY}/src/maxima-clisp.mem
 
6. there is another script proposed for xmaxima
but it does not work form me:

#!/bin/sh
export MAXIMA_DIRECTORY=/usr/local/maxima-5.6-16
exec ${MAXIMA_DIRECTORY}/bin/xmaxima -lisp clisp


Best regards.
