[Axiom-developer] AXIOM from cvs does not compile

[Bertfried Fauser]

Dear Tim,

        after noticing that my TeXmacs problem might be based on a
malfunctioning AXIOMsys, I downloaded the cvs source and tried to build
AXIOM (as I did earlier)

a) I exported the AXIOM variable, but make failed since the directory
../mnt/linux/bin was not present

make

2) I mkdir'ed these two directories, but got another error

which I was not able to resolve. Hence I failed to compile a new AXIOM :-(

(will try to download on a faster line the compiled version, but would
like to be able to build the system. A previous build worked without
problems (over night))

cheers
BF.
