6-8 hours seems like a long time for anything but an ancient system, I'd expect a core 2 duo at that speed to take more like 3-4 hours, (less if make -j3 is enabled). If ATLAS needs to be configured than that can more than double the time though... > On Nov 16, 3:21 am, Johannes <dajo.m...@web.de> wrote: >> hi list, >> On Sunday started to install all experimental packages by >> sage -experimental | grep --color -vE 'INSTALLED|NOT|Type' | xargs sage -i >> and it's still building. >> Is this normal, or did i run into a endless loop? >> >> my configuration: >> Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8100 @ 2.10GHz >> 2GB Ram >> Linux neo 2.6.32-25-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Sep 17 20:26:08 UTC 2010 >> i686 GNU/Linux >> >> greatz Johannes > > -- > 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 > -- 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
