I already did what Shantonu Sen suggested (moving the maxima-list file
from the receipts directory) and it worked and I put the file back. I
would suggest not to waste your time in renaming things when Port
Images, which should fix this, should be coming out soon (or so I
hear). Thank you all again for your continued help.

I tried the -f flag and it did not work. I also looked through the
Port man page and didn't see anything else that looked like it would
work here. Any suggestions?

This is a design problem with the way receipt names are handled in
HEAD. It was the motivation for Port Images. port thinks maxima is
installed because maxima-lisp is installed.
However, we cannot switch to Port Images yet because it would bring
more problems than what it would fix.
I think you can force the installation with -f
Ugh. I can rename the maxima-lisp port to maxima_lisp or maximalisp if
that will work
around the problem for now. I held off doing so before because the
consensus of the list
seemed to be that Port Images would be added soon. As always, the last
10 percent of the
work takes 90 percent of the time....
What do people think? My preference is to use the underscore '_'. Will
that cause any
problems?
Best Wishes,
Greg
