Me too, but I don't know whether to blame that on gcc or the (highly templated) library, or if anything can be done about it. Though sage is entirely useable on machines with much less RAM than that, it's towards the low end of people trying to compile from source. - Robert --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
