Description:   Opened: 2005-11-08 16:26 0000
I've installed several recent CVS versions of axiom through portage, using  
axiom-9999.ebuild    
  
All fail to run, on account of the hardwired axiom path on the second line  
of /opt/axiom/bin/axiom  and /usr/bin/axiom being still set to the build  
directory instead of the installation directory.  Just changing this line  
to:  
  
export AXIOM=/opt/axiom  
  
makes the program actually run, apparently without any further problems.  
Note the "export" --- it was necessary, as the binary also needs the path.  
  
Note also, that making /usr/bin/axiom a symlink would be neater (in my case, I 
removed it and symlinked from /opt/bin).  That way, the change need only be 
made once. 
 
  
  
  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  emerge sci-mathematics/axiom-9999   (with necessary keywords and unmask to   
make it work)    
 
    
Actual Results:  
try to run it:  errors ensue, nothing starts  

Expected Results:  
have started

Do you have the original /usr/bin/axiom? The ebuild does a sed on that script
but it looks like the sed requires an update.
