On Ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty) 64bit version up to date with backports,  I
have installed
from scratch from source 4.3 like so:

make
cp /usr/local/src/sage-4.3/sage /usr/local/bin/
sed -ie 's#="\.\.\.\.\."#="/usr/local/src/sage-4.3/"#' /usr/local/bin/
sage
rm /usr/local/bin/sagee
chmod a+r -R /usr/local/src/sage-4.3/
chown -R root.root /usr/local/src/sage-4.3/
echo "exit" | sage
make test
...
All tests passed!
Total time for all tests: 3456.5 seconds

I installed optional SPKGes:

biopython-1.53.p0.spkg
database_cremona_ellcurve-20071019.p0.spkg
database_gap-4.4.10.spkg
database_jones_numfield-v4.spkg
database_kohel-20060803.spkg
database_odlyzko_zeta.spkg
database_sloane_oeis-2005-12.spkg
database_stein_watkins_mini.spkg
database_symbolic_data-20070206.spkg
gap_packages-4.4.10_6.spkg
jsmath-image-fonts-1.4.p2.spkg
sagetex-2.2.1.spkg
stein-watkins-ecdb.spkg

1.
The (pre) existance of this directory
/usr/local/src/sage-4.3/data/stein-watkins-ecdb/
clashed with the installation of that spkg, giving an error
and failing. I removed it and it succeeds thereafter.

The associated README claims that /usr/local/src/sage-4.3/spkg/build
would contain huge files to be deleted. It seems however the install
of this SPKG deleted that directory by itself. In there is only:

0 r...@muizenberg:/usr/local/src/sage-4.3/spkg/build#ls
bzip2-1.0.5  md5sum.check  old  prereq-0.5

Uh, does that mean bzip2 and prereq-0.5 failed to install properly??


2.
The file
http://www.sagemath.org/mirror/src/README.txt
claims that the html documentation is all built during the install.
Yet this produces a lot of output and seemed to add files???

cd /usr/local/src/sage-4.3/devel/
sage -docbuild all html

3.
# to allow users to run sage -t  in a system-wide install # fixed in
4.3?
#mkdir /usr/local/src/sage-4.3/tmp/tmp
#chmod 1777 /usr/local/src/sage-4.3/tmp/tmp

Above no longer seems necessary. Correct?

I recently installed the jsmath SPKG on 4.2 so that students could
print
from SAGE. The upgrade of 4.2 to 4.3 and a minor upgrade in jsmath
happened at the same time. Now when I open a worksheet in the
notebook, or when I
click File Print on a worksheet, each time I get:

"It looks like jsMath failed to set up properly (error code -7).  I
will try to keep going, but it could get ugly."

So I put
show(integrate(x^2,x))
and the answer displayed prettily. I clicked File Print in the
notebook and
I got the jsmath error, as soon as I closed the jsmath error the print
preview window
changed from \frac{1}{3} to proper pretty display. Then when I printed
that preview window
with firefox File Print, it printed in pretty display. Very annoying
to click through all the errors though.


regards,
Jan
