Options: 1) Build from source 2) wait for sage-4.0.1 (planned to release by Sunday), which should nicely fix this issue. 3) I have a build of sage-4.0.1 on an Atom N270 netbook, which I'll post here within the next hour: http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/wstein/incoming/ You could try that. (Don't worry that it is an alpha -- it's just sage-4.0 + a few bugfixes and new code.) -- William > > /mnt/usb1/sage4> ./sage > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > | Sage Version 4.0, Release Date: 2009-05-29 | > | Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information. | > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > The SAGE install tree may have moved. > Regenerating Python.pyo and .pyc files that hardcode the install PATH > (please wait at > most a few minutes)... > Do not interrupt this. > /mnt/usb1/sage4/local/bin/sage-sage: line 198: 31050 Illegal > instruction sage-ipython "$@" -i > > > On May 17, 12:17 am, paul <pmen...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Just downloaded the lastest sage for windows virtual machine as well >> as the latest vmware to run it.
