Thanks. According to that I see no way for a user to use a systemwide sage installation to test their own modules (not intended for ever bing included in sage, just modules they write and wish to test; in fact part of a course on sage). It says: "With a regular user account, the following syntax is not recommended " and shows a couple Our situation is a root owned installation in /usr/local/src/, and a user using this, with their own files.sage in /home/user/, where they wish to test some of their files.sage. Should a user in such a case be using sage -t at all? Or is there some other way they should be using? I mean, I have a user (lecturer) who found it and wants to use it to test his utility routines. He can sage -t happily on his laptop and own installation, but not on the computer lab desktops. There is no space for a per-user sage installation. There is a per-desktop root-owned installation. We set SAGE_TESTDIR to ~/.sage and even changed permissions on /usr/local/src/sage-4.1.1/tmp/tmp, and /usr/local/src/sage-4.1.1/tmp/, and put the test file there so that it is in a sub directory of SAGE_ROOT. regards, Jan -- .~. /V\ Jan Groenewald /( )\ www.aims.ac.za ^^-^^ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an 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 -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
