 This appears to be a GPL'd Hungarian project that hasn't been updated
 in almost 4 years.

While that seems to be true for the website at the University of Szeged,
the sourceforge site is still active:

Summary: WMI 1.0.2 has been released

The website and the live demo looks much too slick to be 4 years old, too.

Cheers,

[sage-devel] Re: Slightly OT: A SAGE Review

2007-04-06 Thread Hamptonio

My current bioinformatics textbook uses R for all its coding examples,
and since I wanted to use python/biopython for my course, I tried to
install the R-python interface.  As is often the case with such
things, it turned out to be far from self-contained, and I needed a
whole bunch of libraries I didn't have (this was on OS X 10.4).  Since
I am impatient and low on time, I gave up after about 1/2 hour, since
there is a very nice R.app for OS X available already and I didn't
have any specific connection in mind.  However, it looks like I will
often have statistics grad students in that course and they might use
such an interface.  So I will give another vote in favor of getting R
into sage.  Currently I think sage should appeal to everyone in math
except perhaps math ed and stats folks, and having R included would
win over the stats people.

 Hi,

 Regarding the review, which mentions the stats package R, a lot of people have
 written me off list about creating an interface to R.  Note that there
 has been a Python -- R
 interface since before SAGE was ever written:

  http://rpy.sourceforge.net/

 I haven't used it, but imagine it would be easy to install into SAGE.
 (??)  If somebody
 investigates, please post their experiences.

[sage-devel] 2.4.1.2: Maxima config failure on FC6/32 bit

2007-04-06 Thread mabshoff

Hello,

I just tried to build 2.4.1.2 on a current fedora core 6 on x86. The
configure for Maxima fails:

gcc -v
Using built-in specs.

***
Failed to configure Maxima.

The culprit in the Maxima configure script is:

expanded_top_srcdir=`(cd \$top_srcdir\ 1/dev/null 2/dev/null;
pwd)`

I am using a bash 3.2 instead of the standard 3.0 since I plan to
valgrind SAGE as soon as it finished building. Before bash 3.2 the
bash would not deallocate such large amounts of memory that is was
next to imposible to filter out any potentially interesting bits for
SAGE. I would assume that it works fine with bash 3.0, but I will test
that in a moment. Anyway, if it turns out to be the bash you can ping
the Maxima people so they can fix it upstream before bash 3.2 becomes
the standard for Linux distributions.

I got the following version of automake and autoconf:

Going back to bash 3.0 fixes it. I will file a bug at the Maxima bug-

Hey Greg,

I did plan to verify that it isn't a regression with the bash before I do
file a bug report because the configure script works fine with other
shells. If the Maxima people come up with anything please let me know.

Cheers,

Michael
