I keep getting this error for any calculation that I do: TypeError: ECL says: THROW: The catch MACSYMA-QUIT is undefined.

edit

The snippet of my code is here

### #minkowski nmetric
eta= M.metric('eta')
eta[0,0],eta[1,1],eta[2,2],eta[3,3]=-1,1,1,1
eta_inv=eta.inverse()

### #perturbation metric
h=M.metric('h')
for i in range (4):
    for j in range (4):
        h[i,j]=function(f'h{i}{j}')(t, x, y, z)
        h[i,j]=h[j,i]
h[:]

up till this point the calculations are fine. At the next step I get an error

### #contraction
eta_inv.contract(h)

###error
