No? Why should I?

I followed the "readme". And I must admit that the line

export AXIOM=/spad/mnt/linux       << which axiom to build

puzzled me. I did not and do not understand what it says.

I simply said:

./configure

That gave me

export AXIOM=/home/hemmecke/software/axiom/mnt/linux
export PATH=$AXIOM/bin:$PATH
make

which I simply executed. If you now tell me that I have to replace 
"linux" by "debian", then thank you for the hint. But you understand 
that I am a bit frustrated that "configure" does not tell me exactly 
what I have to do.

I don't want to wait another 2 hours to recompile the library. Can I do 
this somehow? Simply saying

export AXIOM=/home/hemmecke/software/axiom/mnt/debian
mv $AXIOM/../linux $AXIOM/../debian
export PATH=$AXIOM/bin:$PATH
make

does not work. It aborts with

PS: What is actually missing, if I stop here? Currently, I don't need 
hyperdoc. If that is all that is missing then maybe I don't need to 
torture myself. (Unfortunately, the axiom script has not yet been built.)
