Well, the build of AXIOMsys completed successfully. You can download a console-only version of Axiom for native MAC OSX 10 on PowerPC here: http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/public/AXIOMsys-ppc-20061101.tgz As usual, untar it into a convenient place like /usr/local $ cd /usr/local $ tar xzf ~/AXIOMsys-ppc-20061101.tgz and then setup the AXIOM and PATH variables like this: $ export AXIOM=/usr/local/powerpc-apple-darwin6.8 $ export PATH=$AXIOM/bin:$PATH and start Axiom like this: $ AXIOMsys (1) -> integrate(1/sqrt(1-x^2),x) exit Axiom with this command: (99) -> )quit yes -------- The MAC server on which this was compiled did not have an X-windows environment so it was not possible to compile and test Axiom Graphics and the Hyperdoc browser. Also native MAC OSX10 apparently does not have support for the pts virtual terminal interface so it is not possible yet to compile clef (the replacement for readline). Because of these problems, it is not possible to use the existing Axiom source distribution without some changes to accommodate the limited hardware environment. But if you are familiar with development on a MAC and would like to give this a try, please let you know and I can make the current preliminary sources available. I look forward to some comments from MAC users! :-) Regards, Bill Page. _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
