William,
I have prepared an initial "alpha" version of an spkg for Axiom.
You can download it (or access it directly) from here:
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/page/packages/axiom4sage-0.1.spkg
Install it using the standard command in sage-1.4.2 or later:
$ sage -i axiom4sage-0.1.spkg
Warning: Axiom is a *big* package (35 Mbytes) and even on a fast
computer
(such as the Sage server) it takes over two hours to compile.
After installation Axiom can be accessed in Sage in a manner very
similar
to Maxima. E.g.
sage: p = axiom( '(2*x-1)::POLY ZMOD(3)' )
sage: p.type()
Polynomial IntegerMod 3
sage: p^2
2
x + 2x + 1
This package is based on the newest experimental versions of both GCL
(Lisp compiler version 2.6.8) and Axiom (the build-improvements branch).
Getting these both to build within the Sage "local" environment under
Ubuntu and on x86-64 hardware turned out to be a worthy challenge :-)
and resulted in several new bug fixes upstream. The new
build-improvements
version of Axiom makes extensive use of the gnu autoconf tools and so in
principle should build successfully on a much wider range of platforms.
At this time the axiom4sage-0.1 package is only known to install
successfully on the Sage server (Ubuntu linux) and on the Axiom server
(Redhat 9 linux). I am currently working with Camm Maquire, the lead
developer for GCL, to ensure that GCL and Axiom will also (real soon
now!)
build on OSX. I would very much appreciate reports of success or failure
of installations on other systems.
Regards,
Bill Page.
