I've just tried to build axiom on sparc on a lenny system- and get
exactly the same build error. It builds fine on an i386 system.
I tried to look for an updated upstream version as the package source
is from 2005, but http://www.axiom-developer.org/ isn't working for me
at the moment. Wikipedia [1] says axiom was forked into OpenAxiom and
FriCAS in 2007.
So is axiom maintained upstream, or should the Debian package be
replaced by one or both of OpenAxiom or FriCAS - and is there a comparison
between the two?
