A couple of issues with the 64-bit distribution

  * I don't see the English info files.  Error below
  * xmaxima fails to start.  Error below

Apart from that it looks OK.

I ran the smoke tests used for the windows maxima build (in INSTALL.win32).
  o Run the maxima testsuite: run_testsuite()
  o Try compiling a function.  This has been a problem in the past
     - f(x):=x+2;
     - compile(f);
     - f(2);
  o Test the graphics systems under maxima
     plot2d(sin(x),[x,0,10]);
     plot3d(x*y,[x,-1,1],[y,-1,1]);
     load(draw)$
     draw3d(xu_grid = 30, yv_grid = 60, surface_hide = true,
           parametric_surface(cos(phi) * sin(theta),
                        sin(phi) * sin(theta),
                        cos(theta),
                        theta, 0, %pi, phi, 0, 2 * %pi))$
  o Check that plotting to Postscript works
     plot2d(sin(x),[x,0,10],[ps_file,"ps_test.ps"]);
  o Try out the on-line help: describe(sin)

Documentation error

    (%i6) describe(sin);

    Maxima encountered a Lisp error:

    OPEN: File #P"/usr/share/info/maxima.info-1" does not exist


xmaxima error.  I may just be missing a dependency (some fonts?)

    $ DISPLAY=localhost:0 xmaxima
    assertion "font != NULL" failed: file
    "/usr/src/ports/fontconfig/fontconfig-2.11.1-2.x86_64/src/fontconfig-2.11.1/src/fcmatch.c",
    line 453, function: FcFontRenderPrepare
    Aborted (core dumped)
