I'm trying to build Silver Axiom on Gentoo Linux. I downloaded the source, unpacked it in a directory with no spaces or uppercase in the path, typed "./configure" and "make" just like the instructions specify.
It starts up OK, but it appears to stop dead making the documentation. It's been sitting at the state it's in for at least six hours with no apparent activity in either processor or disk. Here's what the console looks like: 6 finished /home/spad/axiom/src/clef make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/spad/axiom/src/clef' 42 making /home/spad/axiom/src/doc/Makefile from /home/spad/axiom/src/doc/Makefile.pamphlet 41 making /home/spad/axiom/src/doc make[3]: Entering directory `/home/spad/axiom/src/doc' 1 making /home/spad/axiom/int/doc/axiom.bib from /home/spad/axiom/src/doc/axiom.bib.pamphlet 2 making /home/spad/axiom/mnt/linux/bin/tex/axiom.sty from /home/spad/axiom/src/doc/axiom.sty.pamphlet 3 making /home/spad/axiom/mnt/linux/doc/DeveloperNotes.dvi from /home/spad/axiom/src/doc/DeveloperNotes.pamphlet The root module <<*>> was not defined. 4 making /home/spad/axiom/mnt/linux/doc/book.dvi from /home/spad/axiom/src/doc/book.pamphlet 4 making /home/spad/axiom/mnt/linux/doc/bookvol1.dvi from /home/spad/axiom/src/doc/bookvol1.pamphlet According to "ls -lt /home/spad/axiom/mnt/linux/doc" it finished up making "book.dvi" at 22:28 last night. $ ls -lt /home/spad/axiom/mnt/linux/doctotal 2992 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 22 22:28 ps -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2651536 Jun 22 22:28 book.dvi -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 107068 Jun 22 22:27 DeveloperNotes.dvi drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Jun 22 22:27 src drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 22 20:13 hypertex -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 266392 Jun 22 20:12 bookvol5.dvi drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 22 20:11 msgs Do I just need to be patient, or is this broken?? -- M.
