Michael, I have tried to build Singular from source on the axiom- developer server but but after compiling a large part of the system, the build terminates with the following error:
... make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/page/Singular-3-0-0/modules/modgen' for file in loctriv; do \ if test -d ${file}; then \ echo Directory ${file} exists!

I am using gcc --version 4.0.1. I downloaded the source via wget from http://www.mathematik.uni-kl.de/ftp/pub/Math/Singular/src/3-0-0/Singular-3-0 -0-9.tar.gz First, I consulted the build instructions at: http://www.mathematik.uni-kl.de/ftp/pub/Math/Singular/src/README :( Note: The README.* files in the above source distribution appear to be quite out of date. ) Then I used the following common commmands: tar xzvf Sing* cd Singular-3-0-0 ./configure su make install ---------- Do you know why I might receive the message "kstd.so does not exist" after apparently building a large part of the system? Who would you recommend I contact for help with this? Thanks.
