I have installed axiom-Sept2005-FC4-bin.tgz on Fedora Core 4 (in /usr/local), following the instructions in the download page, but execution of axiom does not produce any proper output. Ie it produces a pair of blank lines and closes again, returning the prompt to the console. On the other hand, axiom -h works.

Some variations occur, eg with option noclef it closes without blank lines, and with iw it opens an X term for a second and then it closes. And here some other ones:

=========

[root@localhost bin]?# axiom -nogo

Would now start the processes.

exec /usr/local/axiom/mnt/linux/bin/sman -ws /usr/local/axiom/mnt/linux/bin/FRICASsys

[root@localhost bin]?# ps aux | axiom

clef trying to get the initial terminal settings: Invalid argument

root@localhost bin]# axiom -list

AXIOM workspaces in $AXIOM/bin = /usr/local/axiom/mnt/linux/bin:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13650944 Sep 5 23:20 FRICASsys

Would now start the processes.

exec /usr/local/axiom/mnt/linux/bin/sman -ws /usr/local/axiom/mnt/linux/bin/FRICASsys

==========

What is the problem?

My best guess is that you have SELinux? enabled. As root try:

echo 0 >/proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space

and see if that fixes the problem

Yes, SELinux? was enabled and enforced. This command did not solved the problem. Then I have disabled SELinux?, booted, axiom did not work yet, executed the command and axiom began working. Then I have set SELinux? to enabled again, booted with relabelling, and after execution of the command axiom does work, even with enforcing.

Apparently I should call axiom from a script including this command.

Apparently I should call axiom from a script including this command. i've asked someone who knows the SELinux? people to suggest that they use Lisp as a test case. the people who implemented the SELinux? routines don't seem to understand the way lisp systems work. every time they release a "new" SELinux? update they've broken yet another thing in Lisp.

at least it solved your problem.

In fact it is enough to execute the magic command once in the shell. Afterwards, axiom opens fine every time. So, I think, I should add this command to /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
