Dear Neil, Dear Waldek, the best thing is to compile and install Waldek's distribution, since it contains many important bugfixes which did not yet make it into trunk.
I hope you have subversion installed. (http://subversion.tigris.org/) If so, please do the following: svn co https://axiom.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/axiom/branches/wh-sandbox cd wh-sandbox svn co https://axiom.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/axiom/branches/build-improvements/gcl gcl !!!!!!!!!!!! Waldek, does Neil need to install noweb, too? !!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- if you want axiom to be installed in a non-standard location, like -- /local/scratch/axiom, (axiom is automatically appended) say ./configure --prefix=/local/scratch make make install "N.
