It Builds without problems in linux x86_64 Just a newby question about spkgs. sage already has readline. If I do ./sage -f http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/patches/readline-6.1.spkg Will it replace the existing readline or will it make a parallel installation? -- 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
