This seems reasonable - you may want to email the R list again about this. It would also be worth knowing what one loses if you don't have ICU. On the other hand, this is about Sage being *built* on a machine with the correct library, but then *run* on one which doesn't (which would likely be the case for many downloaded binaries?), so there might be no way around this. - kcrisman -- 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
