RE: [Axiom-developer] Re: Problems compiling modified Spad file underdebian

[Bill Page]

This looks to me like the Debian build of Axiom is a little broken
(missing /usr/lib/axiom-20050901/autoload/postprop?). I recall an
email by Camm to this effect:

http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/axiom-developer/2005-11/msg00160.html

apparently you will need at least the -4 debian package update.

I can not reproduce this problem on the Axiom version of Windows
nor on the version of Axiom on axiom-developer.org built from
patch-45 on RedHat 9.
