I've been having this problem for a while, and I'm not sure what's  
causing it. Maxima seems to be having some kind of problem with the  
load command. If I try a command like: load("specfun"); like the help  
says to, it fails with the following message:

(%i10) load("specfun");
Could not find `specfun' using paths in  
file_search_maxima,file_search_lisp

-- an error.  Quitting.  To debug this try debugmode(true);

I get a similar message if I try to invoke a command that would  
automatically load a file, like: eigenvectors(matrix([0, 1], [1,  
0])); . These commands both worked in previous versions of Maxima,  
and I'm not sure when they stopped working. The load command will  
work, of course, if I give the full path to the files in question.

By the way, fink --version gives: Package manager version: 0.26.1
Distribution version: 0.8.1.rsync i386

Thanks for any help,
Sean
