I've downloaded and unpacked the .7z binaries for Solaris according to the instructions on this page: http://wiki.sagemath.org/solaris-binaries I've done everything through step 5. This is the output from my terminal: % env | grep -i LD_ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/sfw/lib % ./sage ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Sage Version 4.5.1, Release Date: 2010-07-19 | | Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Sage install tree may have moved.
