The failure of the build is due to the fact that latex is not installed.

yes, it is possible to connect to Axiom but it requires a bit of 
low level knowledge to do it. Axiom adds a socket package to GCL
and you can access the Lisp code directly.

For details see src/lib/sockio.c.pamphlet line 1264
and you can see that Axiom adds code to GCL to do things like
redirect standard I/O

This code is used by src/interp/sockio.lisp.pamphlet (around line 93).
So it is possible to use sockets from lisp.

It is even possible to use sockets directly from the spad algebra
language. Function calls to lisp functions (e.g. car) can be reached by
CAR(x)$LISP
that is, the function name must be uppercased and $LISP appended.
