The problem is that you are invoking axiom without using the
setarch function at the time you run it. This is not an Axiom
problem but a problem with your SELinux permissions setup.

Axiom needs to modify the heap (lisp does this normally) and
the selinux system is blocking this.

Turn off SELinux and it will work.

Try running Axiom without SELinux enabled and let me know if
the problem is cured or not.
