If you just want to use the package, I'd advise you to check out Waldek Hebisch's branch, it contains my package and many other improvements. Otherwise, here are some instructions: you need to get *all* of ssolve.spad.pamphlet rec.spad.pamphlet fffg.spad.pamphlet mantepse.spad.pamphlet Put them into a directory, say "guess" and cd to that directory: cd guess you then have to issue document ssolve.spad.pamphlet document rec.spad.pamphlet document fffg.spad.pamphlet document mantepse.spad.pamphlet which should produce ssolve.spad, rec.spad, fffg.spad, mantepse.spad and also documentation in .dvi format. If any of these files contains "%S", something is wrong... Now you should start Axiom axiom and start compiling *in this order*: )co fffg.spad )co ssolve.spad the following will most likely signal an error like "UFPS not found"... )co mantepse.spad )co UFPS thus you have to do it once more: )co mantepse.spad )co UFPS )co rec.spad the following is the easiest way to work around a stupid bug... )sys rm -rf UFPS.* this final compilation will take a *very* long time (half an hour or so) )co mantepse.spad if any of the above compile commands (except the one indicated) fails, please send mail again. I'm very sorry that building is so complicated. I'd be very interested whether you succeed... Good Luck, Martin PS: this week there will be a yet improved version of my package available. _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
