I installed libfplll from the AUR, and copied it from the system. The libfplll build stopped while building "generate.Tpo", although gc1plus still consumed CPU time. I do not know why this was the case. As for the Singular thing, I have absolutely no idea. I'm on x86_64 Core 2 Duo E4500 2.2Ghz with 4GB RAM right now.
Perhaps I'll try reformatting my system sometime to see if it's a problem with the libraries on my system. - Tim Joseph Dumol <tim (at) timdumol (dot) com> http://timdumol.com On Sun, Nov 8, 2009 at 1:06 PM, William Stein <wst...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Sat, Nov 7, 2009 at 8:58 PM, Tim Joseph Dumol <t...@timdumol.com> wrote: > > The main issues are: > > > > * Incompatible libreadline.so.6 -- the libreadline in Sage is dynamically > > linked to libtermcap.
