Is this a "system error" or just another "user error"?
Tracing the message "AxiomXL file ..." leads me to http://www.axiom-developer.org/repository/axiom--main--1/src/interp/daas e.lisp.pamphlet ;; following 2 functions are called by file-exports and file-imports macros (defun foam::process-import-entry (entry) (let* ((asharpname (car entry)) (stringname (cadr entry)) (hcode (caddr entry)) (libname (cadddr entry)) (bootname (intern stringname 'boot))) (declare (ignore libname)) (if (and (eq hcode 'foam-user::|initializer|) (not (boundp asharpname))) (error (format nil "AxiomXL file ~s is missing!" stringname))) (unless (or (not (numberp hcode)) (zerop hcode) (boundp asharpname)) (when (|constructor?| bootname) (set asharpname (if (getdatabase bootname 'niladic) (|makeLazyOldAxiomDispatchDomain| (list bootname)) (cons '|runOldAxiomFunctor| bootname)))) (when (|attribute?| bootname) (set asharpname (|makeLazyOldAxiomDispatchDomain| bootname)))))) ----------- The 'file-imports' macro is defined here http://www.axiom-developer.org/repository/axiom--main--1/src/interp/foam _l.lisp.pamphlet but from this point on I get lost. It is not clear to me where this macro is called nor why it is being called for "GRAPHCAT". These files have your name and Stephen M. Watt listed as authors. I don't suppose you remember what all this was about 10+ years ago :) or do you? Any suggestions as to where I should look? Do we have any working examples of Aldor categories being used in the old version of Axiom?
