Thanks for this. Meanwhile, I'm trying (wearing my Sagemath developer hat) to make a ecl-compiled, embeddable Maxima package for Homebrew (the missing macOS package system), and I am hitting a snag in installing maxima.fas.

Homebrew does not allow another package to intrude into the installation of another package, meaning I cannot copy maxima.fas to the usual location of .fas files, the one provided by the call

ecl -eval "(princ (SI:GET-LIBRARY-PATHNAME))" -eval "(quit)"

(as done in Maxima-ecl packages in Sagemath and in Linux distros such as Gentoo)

cf. https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/issues/22188

How does one tell ecl to look for .fas files in some other directory? Or are these locations hard-coded, and without changes to ecl it's not possible?

Thanks Dima

Dear All,

as it happens, a few regressions slipped in in the recent release. We've decided to make a quick release with fixes, and here it comes:
