Gaby, I was been able to compile and run open-axiom just fine until I started to wonder about QT front end. So I decided to install QT. By default that meant QT5 on my distribution (OpenSuse Leap). Re-compiling resulted in a compiler error due to:
diff --git a/config/open-axiom.m4 b/config/open-axiom.m4 index 4c4a722..54a90d4 100644 --- a/config/open-axiom.m4 +++ b/config/open-axiom.m4 @@ -1036,7 +1036,7 @@ AC_PATH_XTRA ## complication right now. Will fix later. ## But we can check for the existence of <X11/xpm.h> ## Also check for Xt headers -X_PRE_LIBS="-lXpm -Xt $X_PRE_LIBS" +X_PRE_LIBS="-lXpm -lXt $X_PRE_LIBS" AC_SUBST(X_PRE_LIBS) -- With this patch I was able to compile open-axiom but I did not get the QT front end. Checking config.log, I noticed that it was expecting to find. qmake. Unfortunately qmake is only available with QT4. So I installed QT4 and tried again. This time the compile worked and I apparently got the QT front end built and installed but when I run 'open-axiom' terrible things happen. My desktop becomes non-responsive and I see about three or four windows with the gui open. If I cntl-alt-F1 and 'killall -9 AXIOMsys', I can return to my desktop and continue. But I am not longer able to start open-axiom sucessfully no matter which option I choose (e.g. --no-gui still fails in the same way). Should I expect this to work?
