On amd64 systems you need to run
setarch i386 -R axiom
from your commandline. It's an axiom bug which is fixed in newer axiom releases
but ubuntu doesn't have the updated version yet. Unfortunately the ubuntu
package maintainer doesn't provide a wrapper script.

Hi,
I was happy to finally get my hands on Axiom after nearly 20 years.
So, I was overjoyed that Ubuntu 9.10 had a ready-to-go package.
However, there is a cloud over paradise. Open Axiom fails to properly
initialise.
The hardware is Intel Quad Core CPU, the OS is Ubuntu 9.10 AMD 64.
I keep the CPU microcode up-to-date.
Appended is the rather cryptic output I captured.
I would certainly appreciate some help.
