In the specific case we are talking about, yes.

No. When I install GNU coreutils on my Solaris box, I don't confuse GNU with Sun. I install them in different directory. And Sun or AT&T don't get to say how the `ls' command must be named by GNU on either Solaris boxes or Linux boxes. OpenAxiom installs all its algebra and sub-components in different directory. OpenAxiom does not depend on an external setting of the AXIOM variable -- this is the nth time I'm repeating it to you. | CMUCL and SBCL, which differ because SBCL uses autoconf, do not | interfere with each other in any way. Install OpenAxiom in a directory different from Axiom. You can do it, because OpenAxiom -- unlike Axiom -- lets you specify the destination install directory at configuration time. As a matter of fact, I have 6 copies of Axiom derivatives running on the box I'm writing from. Otherwise, the rest is a bug in Axiom -- you know how to fix it. -- Gaby ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
