As I said in a post half an hour or so ago, I've installed sage 4.3.0.1 on 't2'
at
/usr/local/sage-4.3.0.1-Solaris-10-SPARC-sun4u-or-sun4v/sage
I've also made the binary distribution available in 3 ways. All 3 can be found
in the directory:
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/binaries/
1) A tar file
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/binaries/sage-4.3.0.1-Solaris-10-SPARC-sun4u-or-sun4v.tar
This will be fastest if you want to install your own binary copy of Sage on
't2', but at 1.7 GB in size, it is too big to download.
2) A compressed binary, using gzip.
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/binaries/sage-4.3.0.1-Solaris-10-SPARC-sun4u-or-sun4v.tar.gz
That is 501 MB.
3) A compressed binary created using p7zip, which I beleive defaults to LZMA
compression, so gives a very high compression ration.
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/binaries/sage-4.3.0.1-Solaris-10-SPARC-sun4u-or-sun4v.tar.7z
which is only 300 MB. To extract that, use
$ p7zip -d sage-4.3.0.1-Solaris-10-SPARC-sun4u-or-sun4v.tar.7z
These binaries were created on the first release of Solaris 10. They also
include all the gcc C, C++ and Fortram libraries. So I believe should run on any
Solaris 10 system.
OpenSSL 0.9.7 was used when building these, which is quite old, python added a
bit of code itself, which is missing from this early version of OpenSSL. That
might impact the performance a bit, but it means that Sage could be build on an
old machine, without downloading anything else.
It would be good if anyone with access to a Solaris 10 SPARC system would test
one of these.
Could the sage-4.3.0.1 source code, as well as these binaries, be made available
on the Sage web site, and poked out to mirrors.
