Hi Yasuaki,
Thanks for your reply and efforts, much appreciated! It seems very
likely the problem is the additional tex-modules. I took some notes as I
went along installing, so I'll post these below. (I didn't validate this
sequence, but it is a good starting point)
Let me know how it goes :)
,---- INSTALL IMAXIMA and dependencies in Fedora 17
| 1) Install imaxima with dependencies for use with emacs
| : yum install emacs maxima sbcl texlive ghostscript gnuplot
| 2) Switch to the texmf directory (example for local user)
| : cd ~/texmf/tex/
| 3) Get mh latex package (for breqn.sty)
| : wget http://www.ctan.org/get/install/macros/latex/contrib/mh.tds.zip
| : unzip mh.tds.zip
| : cd mh
| : find . -iname "*dtx" -exec tex {} \;
| : cd ..
| : rm mh.tds.zip
| 4) Get l3kernel latex package
| : wget http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/l3kernel.zip
| : unzip l3kernel.zip
| : cd l3kernel
| : latex l3.ins
| : cd ..
| : rm l3kernel.zip
| 5) Update tex path
| : texhash ~/texmf
| 6) Check the install
| : kpsewhich breqn.sty expl3.sty
| This should return the correct paths.
| 1) If nothing is returned make sure the path where stuff was installed is included in the path
| : kpsepath tex
| This should return e.g. in the example above ~/texmf/tex

Oh, and I tried creating a simple .tex file for testing of breqn and
expl3 (attached). The former generates an abundance of errors, the
latter simply:
