Centos 8 uses readline version 7 so the maxima rpms cannot be installed.

I don't know a way to fix up the situation for the existing rpms, but it's very easy to build Maxima from source on Linux systems. The most straightforward way which I know is to get a tar.gz (also available for download here on SF) and then

$ tar xvzf maxima-foo.tar.gz
$ cd maxima-foo
$ ./configure --enable-somelisp
$ make
$ make install

Several Lisp implementations will work; I recommend SBCL. You'll have to install that separately.
