Hi,

I'm new to sage and I would like to try it on my system (a Gentoo
Linux x86 box).
I already have many of the sage components installed in my system.

Is there a way to build sage by using them, instead of downloading 90M
of sources
and rebuilding all things that I already have?

I think it would be better to make Sage more modular, and to use the
components already provided by the system:

This way:

- one could upgrade (or modify) one component without upgrading the
hole system
- one can avoid having twice the same thing installed.
- one can save compile time.

Under any modern Linux distribution for example, one could have a
package that depends on the other sage components.

best regards.
Pablo De NĂ¡poli
