[Maxima] Installing 5.12.0 on Linux

[Navneeth Chandrasekaran]

Thanks for the replies. I downloaded the tar file again, and it worked. But
now I have another problem; It has to do with lisp. It's the usual process,
I run ./configure, and it says no lisp implementation specified...blah,
blah. Like I have always done, I opted for clisp, since it is lighter, but
for some reason it did not install properly. (I don't have the error message
right now.) So, I installed gcl instead. At the end of the installation, I
got this message...

configure: error: The gcl executable "gcl" was not compiled with
the --enable-ansi flag, which is required for Maxima.
The gcl ANSI-CL check returned
"MAXIMA_GCL_ANSI_TEST_FAILURE".

I then uninstalled gcl and tried apt-get install gcl --enable-ansi, but
apt-get is not able to find any such package... E: Command line option
--enable-ansi is not understood.

What should I do now?

Thanks.
