Hi Robert,

I've updated to the latest sources and now have a startup issue with maxima-jupyter (installed with method 2 - loadable source installation). On startup this exception is thrown

[package maxima-jupyter].......
; file: E:/PortableApps/MaximaPortable/App/Maxima/maxima-jupiter/src/overrides-cl-info.lisp
; in: DEFUN DISPLAY-ITEMS
;     (FORMAT T "Unable to find documentation for `~A'.~%~
;                                   Possible bug maxima-index.lisp or build_index.pl?~%"
;             (FIRST (SECOND CL-INFO::ITEM)))
;
; caught ERROR:

;                                              ^
While evaluating the form starting at line 14, column 0

Maxima encountered a Lisp error:

 COMPILE-FILE-ERROR while
 compiling #<CL-SOURCE-FILE "maxima-jupyter" "overrides-cl-info">

Automatically continuing.

On inspection of the function display-items source file overrides-cl-info.lisp I found this on line 57:

 (format t "Unable to find documentation for `~A'.~%~
                                Possible bug maxima-index.lisp or build_index.pl?~%"
			     (first (second item)))

The trailing ~ on the first line is an illegal format string in SBCL. So the simple fix for me was to remove it:

 (format t "Unable to find documentation for `~A'.~%
                                Possible bug maxima-index.lisp or build_index.pl?~%"
			     (first (second item)))

Regards,

WetHat
