I tried installing the maxima binaries from Ubuntu 17.04, and there was a dependency problem (which i mostly expected). Rebuilding from source is really the correct thing to do here. You should not usually run a linked binary that is not compiled for your specific distribution or system. The build tools are usually very good at resolving dependencies.
