Replying to [comment:5 nbruin]:

I guess what I meant was that Maxima still works as an executable within
Sage.

Yes, I noticed that. Of course, Maxima itself isn't failing per se...

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?

That seems very likely; the size should be exactly the same, one would
think.

Otherwise, I don't know what the problem is.
Unfortunately, although repackaging it did seem to solve the size issue, I
still get the same error as above. In particular, I get the following in
a different log:
{{{
;;; Note: Creating tag: "_eclLn4HfWn8_QUH5U1z" for #P"binary-ecl/maxima-
package.o"

}}}
So it's not finding that even upon normal building. Is the .fas file
what we typically use, though? My sense is that it's
/local/lib/maxima/5.19.1/binary-ecl/maxima. I don't know that the
automake message is as important, as apparently there is a Maxima
executable still there:
