Comment(by nbruin):

 In the above transcript, the fact that (require 'maxima) fails indeed
 indicates that the install failed. The other attempts to load maxima fail
 because the library "maxima.fas" now gets installed in a different place.

 If you take a look at the patch that was made to spkg-install,
 you can see that the four lines added can't possibly lead to
 maxima failing so badly. One guess I can make is that I packaged the spkg
 in the wrong way (I actually followed the instructions in spkg-dist!). The
 resulting spkg is quite a bit smaller than "p0" that Ghitza provided, so
 perhaps maxima automake files got deleted by that script?

 To test this hypothesis:
  - Unpack the original maxima spkg (or install with -s)
  - apply the attached patch, or paste in the relevant lines into spkg-
 install
  - install again

 If that works, then one should probably just repackage the spkg.
 Otherwise, I don't know what the problem is.
