I would like to propose the attached patch for maxima.
This updates it to version 5.34.1 which fixes an upstream bug in
plot2d and friends. Also it fixes dependencies to gnuplot and tk.
In preparing the patch I've observed the following:
The build procedure (make) generates some temporary files. When I
build the package with guix, guix extracts the program tar.gz archive
in the temporary directory
/tmp/nix-build-maxima-5.34.1.drv-0
However, maxima attempts to create temporary files in
/tmp/nix-build-maxima-5.34.1
and fails. To correct for this I've explicitly passed "TMPDIR=/tmp" to
make. Is this the expected behavior?
Regards,
Fede

Subject: [PATCH] gnu packages maxima: Update to 5.34.1 and fix dependencies
* gnu/packages/maths.scm(maxima): Update to 5.34.1 which fixes a bug in the
plotting capabilities (plot2d, ...) present in the previous version
(5.33.0). Add the 'gnuplot' depencency which is required to generate plots.
Add 'tcl' and 'tk' as dependencies: they are required by the 'xmaxima'
command.
