Ok, I wasn't precise above either. I think Karim Belabas (pari lead
developer) wants us to use the version here:
http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/download.html
that is an official linked tarball that is labeled "development version".
The svn version (e.g., the 2.4.3svn you used) is something we should
not use. It is labeled: " * Warning: This latter snapshot contains
bleeding edge patches, constantly updated. It may not even compile!
You may want to check the Buildlogs page first."
Karim, please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks!
William
