Hello to all.
There is a weird LISP-related failure when compiling Maxima package. This error look like:

I have encountered the same problem. Looking around into forums and tutorials I found that adding the following two lines to /etc/sblcrc file solved the compilation problem:

How does your /etc/sblcrc file looks like, now?

To me it still fails, at even earlier stage.

I commented out these rows in '/etc/gentoo-init.lisp':
;(asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :asdf-binary-locations)
;(setf asdf:*centralize-lisp-binaries* t)
;(setf asdf:*source-to-target-mappings* '((#p"/usr/lib/sbcl/" nil) (#p"/usr/lib64/sbcl/" nil)))

Not sure if this causes other problems, but it solved this one...

I also found that I had to upgrade to the masked 2010-11-03 version of slime, because
the 2008 one doesn't compile in the current version of sbcl.

Please take all this with a big grain of salt!

A few days ago, I had the similar problem with the use of maxima in emacs (imaxima). The problem solved me itself by emerging the maxima-5.27.0-r1

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" emerge -pv maxima

[ebuild R ] sci-mathematics/maxima-5.27.0-r1 USE="X emacs latex nls unicode -clisp -clozurecl (-cmucl) -ecls (-gcl) -sbcl -tk -xemacs" LINGUAS="-es -pt -pt_BR"

Probably, in my case, the essential was the option +emacs which induced for other packages the dependencies among others: +sbcl and +asdf and maybe something more.

You can add the following ASDF 2 command if you're worried about unseen effects of commenting out those lines:

Should we file a bug for this? After all we don't know well what that lines that we are commenting out do. I don't know if it's safe to edit a file like '/etc/gentoo-init.lisp only to fix a compilation issue in an ebuild.

Are we sure that enabling or disabling any use flag can't solve the issue?

This Maxima bug has been posted here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411453

Also, someone has requested an ASDF version bump to v2 here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=421513

I recently installed SBCL and SLIME, then encountered the same error when starting slime from emacs,

At present clisp will not compile, https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=425748, so the above fix does not work, and the problem with sbcl persists.

This is not going well. Having found that sbcl and clisp will not compile, experiment shows that gcl can no longer be selected, leaving only cmucl as a possible lisp to support the maxima
package.

but cmucl will not compile:

maxima can be emerged with use flag "gcl"
gcl is masked and the use flag gcl is masked. But it is possible to unmask.
