Hi Paul, It looks like maybe there is an issue with the system-wide boost you have installed. Do you have the boost system-wide package installed? It looks like maybe Singular is picking that up, but failing to build against it correctly. It's not needed for Sage, and I may change the Singular spkg to never use it even if it is available system-wide.
Anyway, could you possibly remove boost, then continue the build by typing make in SAGE_ROOT, and let me know if that works? By the way, subscribing to sage-devel is easy, and you can set it so you only read messages via the web at groups.google.com (i.e., it won't increase your email volume at all). And there are no annoying monthly subscription reminders. -- William malb: actually, this seems boost related [11:18am] malb: i.e. Zimmerman's problem [11:19am] mabshoff: boost? Does Singulat use boost? [11:19am] mabshoff: It does. [11:19am] mabshoff: He uses FC4, so that is a little on the old side. [11:20am] wstein2: yeah gcc-4.0.2.. very old. [11:20am] mabshoff: Well 4.0.2 is allright, but does Singular ship its own copy of boost or does it uses [11:20am] mabshoff: the system one? [11:21am] malb: no they check for boost/dynamic_bitset.hpp in Singular/configure [11:21am] wstein2: So maybe we need to modify our singular build to never use boost? [11:21am] mabshoff: Yep, I saw that. But if it were to fail do they fall back or just fail? [11:22am] wstein2: Why do they use boost? [11:22am] malb: "//Poly wraps around PolyImpl with reference counting using boost" [11:22am] mabshoff: slimgb uses it for boost::dynamic_bitset [11:22am] malb: you don't need boost though [11:25am] malb: so the header test in configure passes but the matching library is not found [11:27am] malb: I'd recommend to (a) tell Paul about that and (b) make a feature request to the Singular group to provide --without-boost -- William Stein Associate Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
