It does; configure.ac.pamphlet from build-improvements says:
AC_CHECK_PROG([LATEX], [latex],
[latex], [AC_MSG_ERROR([Axiom needs a latex program.])])
However, my point was different: I cannot use the SF compile farm
hosts at the moment because basic Axiom requirements are nto met.

I don't think I want to fix the problems on the SF machines...
