Thanks for this. Meanwhile, I'm trying (wearing my Sagemath developer hat)
to make a ecl-compiled, embeddable  Maxima package for Homebrew (the
missing macOS package system), and I am hitting a snag in installing
maxima.fas.

Homebrew does not allow another package to intrude into the
installation of another package, meaning
I cannot copy maxima.fas to the usual location of .fas files, the one
provided by the call

  ecl -eval "(princ (SI:GET-LIBRARY-PATHNAME))" -eval "(quit)"

(as done in Maxima-ecl packages in Sagemath and in Linux distros such as Ge=
ntoo)

How does one tell ecl to look for .fas files in some other directory?
Or are these locations hard-coded, and without changes to ecl it's not poss=
ible?

Thanks
Dima
