Minor correction: he was getting Sage to build on OS X as a 64-bit application. Sage already built and ran fine as a 32-bit program on OS X. With OS X 10.5, the default with gcc was to generate 32-bit code, so building 64-bit meant passing various flags at the right places. >>> So unless someone comes up with something better, I think SAGE64 should >>> not be altered. >> >> My main problem is testing SAGE64.
