Thank you. I've succesfully built gcl on (Slackware). Maxima is much
faster now, I've recompiled it with Gcl instead of Clisp.

However, I have a problem with the readline support. I've compiled Gcl
with --enable-ansi and --enable-readline, but readline facilities are
absent, both in the Gcl prompt and in Maxima. I cannot edit/repeat
commands, with the arrows I get only characters like
[[A^[[A^[[A^[[A^[[B^[[C^[[D  . What am I doing wrong?

About the configure, there is a typo: configure --help says
--enable-readine instead of --enable-readline.


And, of course, thank you for all the other informations about the
development status :-)
