I have a suggestion for the maxima mode in org-babel.
I am using Emacs on a Mac which means that some hint work differently.
The standard distribution of Maxima for the mac does not have a command =
'maxima' anywhere on the path.

The way to start character mode maxima from a shell is using
/Applications/Maxima.App/Contents/Resources/maxima.sh


Maxima itself brings an emacs mode with the standard distribution, and
in maxima mode for Emacs he maxima command can be configured by using
(setq maxima-command =
"/Applications/Maxima.app/Contents/Resources/maxima.sh")
in .emacs

So it makes sense that maxima mode in org does

(require 'maxima)
and then uses maxima-command when it defines the function


(defun org-babel-execute:maxima

I hope this is a reasonable suggestion.
