so…
You can produce the symlink next to the original maxima.sh and choose
its name all at once:
cd /Applications/Maxima.app/Contents/Resources/
sudo ln -s maxima.sh maxima
Otherwise you could put the alias in /usr/local/bin (it's a folder
which contains other syminks to binaries, and it's already in your
path) and you wouldn't have to put
"/Applications/Maxima.app/Contents/Resources/" in your path. Like
this:
cd /Applications/Maxima.app/Contents/Resources/
sudo ln -s maxima.sh /usr/local/bin/maxima

so i think, maybe i leave the idea of running maxima under mac os X's

Don't give up, you're almost there!
