On the same machine (and filesystem)? The size of devel/sage (which is just a symbolic link) indicates that the block size of the filesystem where the "huge" Sage installation lives is quite large, such that even very small files take up a lot of disk space. There are also differences between different architectures (i.e. 32- bit vs. 64-bit, and CISC vs. RISC, e.g. SPARC), but I don't think that matters here. -leif P.S.: You can safely delete devel/old/ etc. and $SAGE_ROOT/spkg/build/ in case it exists. -- 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
