Then we \"strip\" (comment) the final line load(\"stackmaxima.mac\")$. And finally, we modified the settings in maximapool.conf to load the correct file.\r\n\r\nWhen we ran the healcheck, this doesn't work good, and it gets stuck in %i2.   \r\n\r\n![2015-12-28](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/12087852/13362219/bc5d498c-dca1-11e5-8c58-e0e0bada258c.png)\r\n \r\nWe don't know what is it wrong.

Did you build your own memory image that has that library preloaded, if so the command you are using for starting the Maxima process is surely wrong? Also how current is your STACK install, the newer versions have slightly different looking ```maximalocal.mac```?\r\n\r\nObviously the bit about the optimised maxima setup in the guide is bad, I would guess the writer to that never tried it. It does not include anything about setting the command, do check [this](https://github.com/maths/moodle-qtype_stack/blob/master/doc/en/CAS/Optimising_Maxima.md) for the command bit.\r\n\r\nMaybe you could show the output of the health checks (the pool sides not the STACK one) so we see what it is actually outputting?
