The problem is, I think, with the grep line:

My maxima script does not contain "list-avail", and yet it accepts the --list-avail option

This is really disturbing. Your maxima script looks quite different from what I have on Linux. It contains, near the end, after a long list of possible lisps with the corresponding "exec ..." lines, the following:

else
echo "$0: lisp=\"$MAXIMA_LISP\" not known. Use --list-avail to see possible options." >&2
exit 1

Your version contains just one possibility, "exec sbcl ...", and no "else".

Is this maxima script the standard one on macs? If so, maxima_detect should be re-written again, to take into account such possibility.

I downloaded mine from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/maxima/files/

Maybe I should switch back to the one installed by fink...
