oh, besides the aldor compiler, axiom also uses gcl to compile aldor  
sources?
How can I pass options to the gcl call? (When stating “)co something” only  
the Aldor options are shown, so I supposed calling Aldor would be the  
whole story)

I tried to follow that guide, but ran into trouble already at step 5  
“Update your axiom source code to patch 44”, as for a fresh install, of  
course I could not “tla update”. I tried with the silver sources instead.  
Building axiom aborted, and make complained about denied permission to  
modify

/home/tmgisi/axiom64/axiom.silver/axiom/mnt/linux/bin/tex/.svn/all-wcprops

/home/tmgisi/axiom64/axiom.silver/axiom/mnt/linux/bin/tex/.svn/text-base/axiom.sty.svn-base

chmodding everything within /hemo/tmgisi/axiom64 to 777, make got past  
this point but make did not proceed for more than 24-hours at:

make[3]: Entering directory

So obviously, at step 5 of
http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/AldorForAxiom
I chose the wrong sources. Would the golden one be the correct one then?

Kind regards,
