RE: [Axiom-developer] RE: set function breakage

[Page, Bill]

David,

The version of axiom to which I am referring is the run-time
system that Tim prepared "by hand" and uploaded to

  http://axiom.tenkan.org

This is a complete version of Axiom for Linux systems that
cannot (yet) be build automatically from the CVS sources
since it depends on pre-existing lisp code that should
otherwise be produced by compiling the axiom spad code.
(Tim, please correct me if I am wrong on the details.)

Tim made this version of axiom available because people
were getting anxious to get there hands on a running system
again even though this version cannot really be the long
term basis for Axiom development. So far it is just a good
speculation that the problems we see in this run-time
version are connected to the problems of compiling axiom
from source.

The message you get from axiom built from CVS is probably
due to the fact that only a small fraction of the algebra
code has been compiled. Attempting to compile some of the
missing logic will quickly get you to the stack overflow
problem that we have been talking about.

Cheers,
Bill Page.
