Thanks, but no thanks :-). I'll look for non-SageMath alternatives for my visualization needs, I'd prefer that anyway. I merely took the time to report this again as I thought it might be a useful data point for you guys to know that there are even more recent machines where SageMath does not start, and I also wanted to re-emphasize the wish to have a better user experience in this case. > I'd recommend using the latest 8.4.rc1 from develop branch of > https://github.com/sagemath/sage.git > > Then you'd do > ./bootstrap > ./configure CC=cc CXX=c++ > (to use Xcode's clang - there are other options, e.g. let Sage build its own > gcc...) > followed by make > > There could be issues with conflicting macports/fink etc, so it's better to > move them out of the way > (at least from PATH etc) > > It would speed things up if you already have gfortran installed and in your > PATH, though, as presently Sage > would have to build it from source on OSX... Uhm, so I am supposed to remove or hide all the usual means to install things like gfortran, and then have gfortran installed anyway? Huh. Nah, I'll pass.
