#3027 Error when the help window is opened (CLISP version only)

[sslavi]

Maxima 5.37.xx, Windows 64 bit, CLISP, running under WxMaxima.

This is what happens when "Help"-->"Maxima Help" is selected in the menu bar. See the attached screenshot.

I assume this is related to the CLISP distribution of Maxima which is under the "jurisdiction" of Maxima developers, and not the WxMaxima ones. :)

Could be possibly related to the bug report #3026 too?

Thank you for the bug report. You installed maxima-clisp-5.37.1.exe which you can download from sourceforge.net/projects/maxima/?

Best regards, Wolfgang
(I am late with a clisp based 5.37.2 installer, sorry).

Hi Wolfgang,
yes I have downloaded it from that folder.
However, I have noticed that clisp maxima runs considerably slower, and some calculations take long minutes even on a fast desktop PC. So right now I am using the sbcl version, though it also has some important bugs - like this one: https://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/bugs/2966/ which remains without patch.
Cheers

Sorry for the late reply. It does not occur on the recently released version 5.37.3 (on my PC), so I hope, the issue is solved.

Best regards, Wolfgang
