[Axiom-developer] Re: Problems compiling modified Spad file under debian

[Francois Maltey]

Hello, 

I try to compile my first axiom package and I get problems :

Martin helps me and I install theses debian packages :

dpkg -l | grep axiom

ii  axiom                              20050901-3

I run axiom -noht and I get :

I try to compile again a spad file :

cp /usr/share/axiom-20050901/src/algebra/manip.spad ~/Axiom/locallib
cd ~/Axiom/locallib
axiom -noht

Then I try twice to compile the local manip.spad and get 2 errors :
What is my mistake ?
