My reason for reporting the problem was that a packaged version of
Axiom should not rely on the user to set environment variables simply
in order for the software to run from its default installation
location.

Camm's latest package circumvents the problem by installing a shell
script (/usr/bin/axiom) which sets up the PATH and AXIOM environment
variables before calling the axiom executable.

An alternative, cleaner solution would be to enable the correct path
to be stored in the axiom executable during the build process.

The existing shell script could be improved slightly, for example by
setting the variables as follows:

export AXIOM=/usr/lib/axiom-0.0.0cvs/mnt/linux
export PATH=${AXIOM}/bin:$PATH
