Re: [Axiom-developer] Re: [TeXmacs] Axiom plugin

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!  I take it this is a reference to the debian texmacs
package.  I don't maintain this package, and so cannot address this.
The next version of the axiom debian package will have an AXIOMsys
symlink in /usr/bin.  Please know that if one calls this directly, one
still needs to putenv the AXIOM and possibly PATH variables, which is
done by the shell script wrapper.  Another problem with using an
absolute path is that the AXIOMsys binary is kept, at least currently,
in a directory with the version number in the path, which I think is a
good idea.  So I'd recommend staying with /usr/bin/AXIOMsys with
putenv'ed AXIOM and PATH environment variables if one doesn't like the
shell script, and when I get the next cut released into unstable,
which I hope to have built atop gcl 2.6.2.

Take care,
