[Axiom-developer] Re: Debian ports

[Tim Daly]

Camm, the URL shown below is partially specific to your system
If you build axiom with the shell variable 

   $AXIOM=/home/axiom/mnt/ubuntu

then the URL will work as shown (assuming you build on ubuntu).
If you build on, say, a fedora10 system with the shell variable

   $AXIOM=/home/camm/mnt/fedora10

the URL would be:

http://127.0.0.1:8085/home/camm/mnt/fedora10/doc/hypertex/rootpage.xhtml

That is, you have to specify the complete path to the file rootpage.xhtml
(which will naturally have the $AXIOM prefix you used).

> From the top level you type ")browse" and Axiom will now function as a
web server on
the port (8085). At the moment you need to give a full path to the
root page thus:

http://127.0.0.1:8085/home/axiom/mnt/ubuntu/doc/hypertex/rootpage.xhtml

Try Topics -> Numbers -> Integers -> x:=factorial(200) as an example.
You should see the result of the computation pasted inline in the webpage.

This should be easier and automatic but I have to write that code and
I have not.




Thanks!

Alas my browser is hanging on the above url, so something needs
fixing.  I don't even get to read-char-no-hang:

(1) -> )lisp (trace read-char-no-hang)

Warning: READ-CHAR-NO-HANG is being redefined.
Value = (READ-CHAR-NO-HANG)
(1) -> )browse
listening on port 8085
.....

Debugging suggestions?
