This should work and print a banner (like the one Martin posted).

Currently using fricas in a pipe like above does not work (in
pipe one has to set up a more complicated command). However
the message is rather strong indication of what happended:
it seems that you are using Clisp (we asked which Lisp you use
and you did not answer to this..) and that during installation
you or (more likely) Slackware installer stripped the main
FriCAS binary (that is AXIOMsys).
Extra remarks:
- all FriCAS files are installed using 'install' command from
your system. This command is like copy, but may do some
extra work like registering files in package database. On
many systems 'install' command strips all installed binaries.
- striping FriCAS binaries my break them. In particular Clisp based
FriCAS may crash with message:
module 'syscalls' requires package OS.
- the 'file' command should tell you if binaries are stripped. In
particular:
file /usr/lib/fricas/target/i686-slackware-linux/bin/AXIOMsys
should tell you if the main FriCAS binary is stripped
- FriCAS binaries are run during build. If build completed
sucessfully it strongly suggest that binaries got broken
during install.
- you can run FriCAS from the build tree (without isnstalling it).
Assuming that you have build in /tmp/fricas-svn/ the following
should work:
(export AXIOM=/tmp/fricas-svn/target/i686-slackware-linux; $AXIOM/bin/axiom)
