Have you actually built it, or just downloaded it?
When I try to build it, I get a series of errors of the form:

  cp: cannot create regular file 
`/usr/local/belanger/axiom/silver/mnt/linux/bin/tex/.svn/prop-base/axiom.sty.svn-base':
 Permission denied
  cp: cannot create regular file 
`/usr/local/belanger/axiom/silver/mnt/linux/bin/tex/.svn/format': Permission 
denied
  cp: cannot create regular file 
`/usr/local/belanger/axiom/silver/mnt/linux/bin/tex/.svn/text-base/axiom.sty.svn-base':
 Permission denied
  cp: cannot create regular file 
`/usr/local/belanger/axiom/silver/mnt/linux/bin/tex/.svn/README.txt': 
Permission denied

I assume that when some recursive copy in the Makefile is called, it
tries to write over some subversion files (which of course don't have
permissions which allow that).  Am I the only one with this problem?
