OK, but this is usually treated in a simpler form, e.g. something like

  -curl( mu^-1 curl E) + omega^2 epsilon E  = -i omega J

This is then treated with special edge elements.

Is this what you are aiming for?  [If yes, I am interested in this myself,
and might be implementing edge elements in the near future.]

Yes, but even better might be
 #p"femlisp:src;applications;domains;inlay-domain.lisp"

This file should be loaded automatically.  What does the variable
FL.MESH::*TRIANGLE-PATHNAME* contain?  Does it work, if you set it to the
location of your triangle binary?  (However, this should be found
automatically, if it is in your path, see the lines at the beginning of
#p"femlisp:src;mesh;triangle.lisp".)

You're welcome.
