It doesn't run normally. That is, I get an error message;

  *** - UNIX error 84 (EILSEQ): Invalid multibyte or wide character

Ah, it's a maxima's problem...

Anyway, I compiled maxima 5.23.1. After the error message, It say;

  Maxima 5.23.1 http://maxima.sourceforge.net
  using Lisp CLISP 2.44.1 (2008-02-23)

I doesn't proceed;

Why...?

I got the same result.

No, I get the error;

1. in case of export LC_ALL=en_US.utf8

*** - invalid byte sequence #xC0 #xA5 in CHARSET:UTF-8 conversion  

2. in cese of export LC_ALL=C

*** - invalid byte #xE3 in CHARSET:ASCII conversion
