load(lapack) has errors loading.

Below is the error and below that is the version info .
The version is from last nights build.
load(colnew) also has a fatal error.
This maybe issues with SBCL compiler.

[richardgobeli]

This version also fails from Dec 3, 2025.
The maxima.bat maxima command line version also fails.

I used this preload list of packages.

preload_packages.zip

Often if loading lapack fails the cause is having too little memory reserved for sbcl at startup.
There should be a command-line argument to Maxima that allows to adjust this.

[richardgobeli]

I have doubled the memory to 4096, and it still does not get through the preloading.

I have this:
-l sbcl -X "--dynamic-space-size 4096"

SBCL has just been upgraded to 2.60.

This new build from today now works.

[gunterkoenigsmann]

Then thanks for testing!
... And it seems like @daute was right waiting with the release for the new version to become available.

SBCL has just been upgraded to 2.60.

This new build from today now works.

That's strange - because SBCL was not updated in that Maxima installer. You are still using 2.5.11 - according to your screenshot. Will test and probably update it now.
And if the error occurs in command line Maxima too, it is definitely not a wxMaxima bug. Maybe a incompatiblity between the loaded packages?
Or a problem with SBCL? The (nightly build) Windows installer supports other Lisp's (CLISP, ABCL (Java-based) and CCL64) too.

Yes, I knew the SBCL new version was not in the build I tested yesterday. I wanted you to know there was a new version. I tried running with the other lisps, but I got a load error for clisp.
I tried the clisp now with the build from yesterday and now clisp works. So there must have been a bad build.

I also tried the build from Dec. 2. The build from Dec. 2 also had issues with the lapack and the draw package.

[richardgobeli]

I still get these load package errors sometimes. Last night's build does it. If I clear the binary file and redo it, sometimes it works.
I don't know if there's something wrong with my computer.

I also can't run it with clisp option. It says Maxima is not loaded. I thought this should work for any of the Lisp options.

[gunterkoenigsmann]

If it cannot load its own binary files that feels like being a sbcl or Maxima issue. In that case the Maxima project's Devs might have a chance of finding out what's going on.
