Don't force ecl lisp with maxima -l ecl on command line.
#35514
Conversation
Instead, use `maxima` which should run maxima under the default lisp. This is consistet with what happens with `sage.interfaces.maxima`. Note that `maxima_lib` needs maxima built with ecl, but the pexpect interface to maxima works with any lisp and there are faster builds of maxima (e.g. the one compiled with sbcl).

I'll admit, that was my doing some time ago. |

Is this the only place? I thought I had put it somewhere else. |
I think this is the only place left. Please check that it still works ok for you after this change. |

It will work. The only thing is that if you have maxima compiled with more than one lisp, the ecl backend is unlikely to get chosen as most of the others are before it in the picking order. Occasionally, you may get a different result. But this is only concerning the pexpect interface to maxima. maximalib will still use ecl. I will check env.py and sage_conf which are two places where I could have put stuff. |

I thought I had put stuff there as well https://github.com/sagemath/sage/blob/develop/pkgs/sage-conf/_sage_conf/_conf.py.in#L12 but if I have, it has been removed. Removing Waiting for the last checks to run before giving you my tick. |
