[Axiom-developer] Mandriva axiom install

[Tim Daly]

I was unaware that there was a Mandriva rpm of Axiom anywhere.

All working versions of Axiom are available at:
http://axiom-developer.org/axiom-website/download.html
One of the fedora versions is likely to work fine, especially
since Mandriva is a derivative of the RedHat line.

I will build a Mandriva machine and an Axiom build.

Details:

I am running Mandriva Spring 2009, on a Gnome desktop.
I first installed axiom from the Mandriva rpm installer. 
At the console, absolutely nothing happened when I typed axiom. It simply
returned to my directory. 

I then downloaded and installed the binary file "redhat9" and followed all
the instructions. 
This time an error message of a missing shared library is generated. 
The library referred to is:
libreadline.so.4

I have checked, and note that I have libreadline.so.6

I presume some line in the code has to change. 
How do I do this, so there is a correct reference to libreadline version 6?

Otherwise, I have to give up on trying to use axiom
