I still can't pull the svn source on the Mac, so I pulled on a linux box
and copied them over to the Mac this morning.

I have built axiom again. I needed to patch 2 files:

1) src/hyper/hthits.pamphlet, using Waldek's patch:

http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/axiom-developer/2006-11/msg00195.html

and

2) $ svn diff src/graph/viewman/viewman.c.pamphlet

I built --without-noweb --with-gcl, the configure for the built in gcl
isn't working right. I think it's a bug in gcl-2.6.8pre (if you call
configure with no --prefix, the make tries to echo data into /bin/gcl
and fails with permission problems).

I'll try to send Camm a patch (or at least a real bug report).
