Not a answer to your question, but a piece of info i think you'll be

«Maxima does not include any of the numerous enhancements made to the
commercial version of Macsyma between 1982-1999 (at least 50 man-years
of work). Due to this, extensive effort may be required to port code
from Macsyma to Maxima.»
above is a quote from:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macsyma
Do you believe everything you read in wikipedia?
It turns out that Macsyma does not include any of the numerous
enhancements made to the open-source Maxima.
In spite of these differences, vast quantities of code can run
interchangeably on each platform since they are each implemented in
(more or less standard) ANSI Common Lisp.
If you have about 3 thousand dollars to spare, you might want to buy
Mathematica instead. Goto:http://wolfram.com/
I can't imagine why the original poster, who apparently wants to link
his CL code with Maxima, should consider this as an alternative.
If you have no money to spare, it is my feeling that there are better
free packages than maxima.
Do you often have such feelings?
