As a follow-up, it seems that mkstemp on solaris doesn't have much imagination... When called many times on the same template (/tmp/ECLINITXXXXXX in this case) in a single run, it creates filenames like /tmp/ECLINITXiaGon, /tmp/ECLINITYiaGon, /tmp/ECLINITZiaGon, ... only incrementing one letter. After a few iterations, it reaches /tmp/ECLINIT.iaGon, and ECL then transforms this into /tmp/ECLINIT.c, stripping off what it thinks is the extension. Likely this means that this needs to be fixed inside ECL in some way. (Possibly by not stripping off existing extensions in this tempfile transform code. Maybe.) -Willem Jan -- 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 URL: http://www.sagemath.org
