Then it probably wasn't compiled using clisp. GCL has an option to
build without readline support. There is also the issue of whether
only the main Axiom program (AXIOMsys) or the sman "shell" program
(axiom) is started. These behave different initial prompt sequences
which affect the pexpect configuration. The problem that I reported
earlier occurs using FriCAS compiled using clisp in which readline
cannot be easily disabled.

Anyway, I agree that we only should be testing with the fricas package
installed and not any pre-existing Axiom installation.
