This is getting somewhat over my head.

It looks like the script src/maxima is not made properly.

When it is created within the source tree, it has top_srcdir pointing in 
the source tree.  When it is created within the build tree, top_srcdir 
point in the build tree

Leave the process hanging at the error  so it does not clean up

In another xterm,

now, the difference in the src/maxima script can be seen.

I believe the top_srcdir should be the same in both cases.

Where is this script created?
