The instructions available here:

http://www.axiom-developer.org/axiom-website/download.html

include the initial step of setting randomize_va_space to 0, with:

echo 0 >/proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space

I'm wondering - how necessary is this step?  I don't really like having to
fiddle with kernel properties to compile software.

Also, are there any GUIs for axiom other that Texmacs (which I've found in
the past to be unstable and prone to freezing)?

Finally, I believe that Axiom is the only open-source software which
includes a complete implementation of the Risch decision algorithm for
symbolic integration; done by the late Manuel Bronstein initially in the
1970's and 1980's.  Is this correct?  I suppose that the major commercial
systems support as complete integration routines as possible, but Axiom has
the edge on other (free) systems as far as I know.

Many thanks,
Alasdair

Many thanks,
