RE: [Axiom-developer] AXIOM from cvs does not compile

[Page, Bill]

Hello Bertfried,

I am sorry that I have been quiet for so long - too much
work for which people pay me, as opposed to things I
really like to do ... <grin>

A quick question about the problem you mention below:

  Did you follow *exactly* the instruction to set
  the paths which you receive when you first start
  by cd to your new Axiom route directory and typing
  the command

  ./configure

  ??

Your output below suggests that (perhaps) the AXIOM
environment variable was not set correctly.

Cheers,
Bill Page.

PS. When I get around to it (real soon) I plan to
install SuSE 8.2 on one of my machines and I will see
if I can reproduce your problems or find a solution.
