[Axiom-developer] Re: Guessing package, was: Re: your program / paper

[N. J. A. Sloane]

Martin,

tonight I tried to install Axiom on our new linux machine.
so that I could start trying out your program!

unfortunately I did not get very far

I started at the top, and first downloaded 

axiom-20050901-3.i386.rpm

There were no instructions about what to do next!

So I guessed that

$  rpm -i axiom-20050901-3.i386.rpm 

might be the thing to do.  It was not!

prim$ rpm -i axiom-20050901-3.i386.rpm 
error: Failed dependencies:
        libreadline.so.5 is needed by axiom-20050901-3.i386
prim$ 

You said I should ask axiom-developer if I ran into trouble,
so I will copy this to them.  This is a linux  x86-64  machine.

Regards

Neil Sloane
