Ignore everything in archive/. archive/configure dates from 2000-12-09

Follow the build instructions in INSTALL. Specifically try the "UNIX GNU AUTOTOOLS BUILD AND INSTALL" recipe

1. cd to root of maxima source tree
2. sh bootstrap
3. ./configure
4. make
5. make check
6. make install

You will need a number of prerequisites installed to build the documentation, including recent texinfo and latex.

I will close this as not-a-bug. If you still have problems ask on the maxima-discuss mailing list https://sourceforge.net/p/maxima/mailman/

Thank you.
