Dear Bill, * I just installed TeXmacs (version 1.0.6 on kubuntu), but I also have trouble getting it to work with axiom. Additionally, it seems extremely slow, but maybe that's due to my laptop showing its age.
Since I'm not going to use TeXmacs myself, speed is not that much an issue. I'd just like to know how to get it work in order to be able to help others. After starting texmacs, and finding out that I have to click on insert-session, there was no Axiom entry in the menu. After a little hacking, I found that init-axiom-scm expects axiom to reside in /usr/bin/axiom, which isn't the case on my machine, and probably not on many others, since many people will not be root, I guess. Thus I changed /usr/bin/axiom to $AXIOM/bin/axiom: (:require (url-exists-in-path? "$AXIOM/bin/axiom")) and indeed, Axiom now shows up as a supported session. However, I get the same error as Ralf, although AXIOMsys and axiom certainly are in the path. (and I didn't modify tm_axiom either) Note however, that I'm using wh-sandbox, which has a slightly different banner. Maybe that's the problem? On the console I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ texmacs --debug-io TeXmacs] With linked TrueType support TeXmacs] Launching 'tm_axiom' [BEGIN]verbatim: Martin "Bill Page" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > I only see that TeXmacs' tm_axiom and the one of > > Bill Page start AXIOMsys. > > > > >> > > >> Unexpected End5 > > >> > > >> (everythinng in read except a black 5). > > >> > > >> And there is an "axiom]" prompt.
