This is a known problem. See issue #153:

I have verified that this problem no longer occurs in Axiom built
from the most recent tla developer archive. I am not sure if this
is in the CVS versions yet. However if you have built Axiom from
an earlier source you can copy the required file as loli described
in the above issue report.

  cp .../axiom/int/algebra/libdb.text \
     /usr/local/axiom/mnt/linux/algebra/libdb.text

where .../axiom stands for your Axiom source directory.

If you did not build Axiom from source, e.g. if you installed a
binary version, then you can download it from here:

  cd /usr/local/axiom/mnt/linux/algebra
  wget http://axiom.axiom-developer.org/mnt/linux/algebra/libdb.text

This solves the failures related to "Complete", etc. however the
problem described in issue #236

http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/236ClickingOnDependentsInHyperDocBrowseCrash
esHyperDoc

still occurs. If you find other such cases, please submit an 
issue report at:
