Re: Errors when using Maxima code

Hi, all. I'm trying to use a code in lisp for symbolic integration
called "Sin" (it was published by Moses in 1967). This is now part of
Maxima at this address:
http://www.koders.com/lisp/kv.aspx?fid=492FDDF65B55D47181346B598717F16FF43FC135&s=Risch
But when I try to load and use this package in my Clisp implementation
it doesn't work, telling me that some functions are not defined and
other various errors messages... Normally the "Sin" program should not
have any other dependencies and is supposed to be self sufficient, why
is it not working? Is the Lisp of Maxima different from the ANSI
Common Lisp I use and how can I reconcile the differences? I would
really like to use that program. Thanks.

Why do you think the "Sin" program is self-sufficient?

A quick look at the code at the link you indicated shows that the file
needs to be loaded into the MAXIMA package. So there would have to be
such a package already defined. Furthermore, there are a number of
additional non-Common-Lisp functions at the top of the file that
indicate that there are additional dependencies.

At a minimum, I would think you would need to have the Maxima system
loaded before you could use this file.
