Unable to install maxima-jupyter about maxima-jupyter HOT 2 CLOSED

It sounds like you have the pieces in place. Here's what I'm doing, this works for me, I hope it can work for you too.

I have cloned the maxima-jupyter repo into $HOME/github (not under quicklisp/local-projects). I cd to $HOME/github/maxima-jupyter. I launch Maxima built with SBCL. Then :lisp (load "load-maxima-jupyter.lisp") and then jupyter_install_image();.

I have updated via git pull origin master (with origin = https://github.com/robert-dodier/maxima-jupyter.git) to get a recent bug fix (not related, from what I can see, to the "cannot find component :MAXIMA-JUPYTER" which you are seeing).

I think "cannot find component" is coming from ASDF and so, I guess, from Quicklisp. I see there is some machinery in load-maxima-jupyter.lisp about figuring out from where load-maxima-jupyter.lisp is being loaded (via LOAD-TRUENAME) and then telling ASDF to look there, so that maxima-jupyter.asd can be found. Maybe the error about "cannot find component" means that business about locating the .asd has not worked as expected.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted. I'm sorry for the bother. Thanks for your interest in Maxima and maxima-jupyter.

Thanks so much for all your help, but it turns out it was my fault. Kind of. As it turns out, when Portage builds Maxima it doesn't source any .sbclrc, and so Maxima was never built with Quicklisp. I built Maxima myself, and then it magically worked, maxima-jupyter and all. I checked all the example files provided in this repo and found nothing wrong. I wasn't able to use the new installation method with the manually built Maxima, but the old method using python3 ./install-maxima-jupyter.py --root=$(pwd) --user --maxima=/path/to/maxima/build worked a charm.
