Hello, I've been using my distro's packaged version of FriCAS, but I wanted to try AXIOM because I like the idea of literate programming.
I ended up getting a github snapshot compiled with gcc-4.5, but just in case you aren't already aware, I wanted to let you know that the bundled version of GCL has problems with gcc-4.6. According to the GCL mailing list [1] and a Debian bug report [2], it looks like the problems have been already fixed upstream, so simply updating GCL should fix things in AXIOM. Error snippet: ...

Loading ./gcl_cmpinit.lsp Loading ../lsp/sys-proclaim.lisp Finished loading ../lsp/sys-proclaim.lisp Loading sys-proclaim.lisp Finished loading sys-proclaim.lisp Finished loading ./gcl_cmpinit.lsp End of Pass 1.
