The app-sci/maxima package installs Maxima's info manual into /usr/share/info/
and an Emacs mode into /usr/share/maxima/5.9.0/emacs/maxima.el.  However, the
latter refers to /usr/local/info/ for Maxima's info manual.  Hence the Emacs
mode does not completely work out of the box: the user has to set
maxima-info-dir to "/usr/share/info/" in his/her ~/.emacs file.

Changes info manual path in Maxima's Emacs mode.

I don't know if this is the preferred fix, but it works for me.

Thanks for the tip. This is fixed in "maxima-5.9.0-r3".
