How about the other parts of Axiom? If you type the command: $ axiom You should see the hyperdoc window where you can browse the Axiom library, run tutorial examples, search some documentation. Does that work? Note: We already suspect some possible errors in the display of certain symbols in hyperdoc because of some mixed case file names, e.g. Greek letters. If you start Axiom as above and type the following Axiom command: (1) -> draw(sin x, x=0..2*%pi) Does the Axiom graphics window open displaying the plot? Finally, would you be willing to post a tarball of the Axiom binaries distribution? You would create it like this: $ cd .../target $ tar czf powerpc-apple-darwin8.8.0.tgz powerpc-apple-darwin8.8.0 Then copy the tarball someplace where others can download it. Thanks for giving this a try. As far as I know, you are only the 2nd person to ever report successfully running Axiom on a MAC! :-) Regards, Bill Page. _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
