Package: maxima-share Version: 5.38.1-8 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Installing maxima and maxima-share, then loading the draw package in a new maxima session should result in maxima compiling the draw package from source. However, the compilation errors out because gcl is not installed. Installing gcl fixes the issue. $ maxima Maxima 5.38.1 http://maxima.sourceforge.net using Lisp GNU Common Lisp (GCL) GCL 2.6.12 Distributed under the GNU Public License. See the file COPYING.
