Dear all,

I just wanted to say that following Bills instructions, namely

worked, *after* having said

apt-get install binutils-dev

(although it appears to me that this should be done by apt-get build-dep axiom,
but it isn't...)

Unfortunately, building axiom from the darcs sources does not work: it seems
that for some files the executable bit is not set (for example for configure),
so I said

chmod -R u+x *

and gcl-2.6.7.* is missing (I copied them from the debian distribution). Now
the build seems to be working.

I did not yet set up tla.
