RE: [sage-support] cygwin Sage-4.4.3 almost installed

2010-10-21 Thread Jorge E . ´Sanchez Sanchez

I have tried to build again sage-4.4.3 from source and again the process has 
stopped at the hard link between python-2.6.exe and python.exe, but now,  I 
could did the link between both exe's outside the installation process, now I 
would like to continue it from this point without doing the previous steps in 
order to see if I can succeed to get it built.

Could you please give me some advice in that direction.

Best regards,
Jorge

Subject: [sage-support] cygwin Sage-4.4.3 almost installed
Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2010 11:03:23 -0500








Dear group,

I am trying to build an interchangeable sage-cygwin usb external harddrive 
installation, my (single-user) cygwin already runs in my windows 32B XP3, 32B 
windows 7 and also in windows 64B windows 7. I have tried the sage-4.4.3 cygwin 
binaries but didn't work, so I follow William's directives in order to build 
from source, I have verified the prerequisites to be installed and changed the 
boehm_gc, ecl, libpng and maxima spkg's for the cygwin's appropiate ones, all 
have compiled succesfully but the installation process is stopped suddenly 
because it can't create the hard link between python-2.6.exe and python.exe, in 
fact I have tried it directly and the answer also was that the operation is not 
permitted. Can you tell me how can I proceed from here.

Thanks,
Jorge

This works after #2100 has been applied to 4.6.alpha3, which fixes a lot
of issues and confusion we've had about aspect ratios and figure sizes.
Ticket #2100 (http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/2100) still
needs to be reviewed.

The picture still isn't the prettiest after #2100 has been applied (I
think that list_plot could be improved to make the picture better, and
the axes probably need a fix as well), but at least there is no error
thrown.

[sage-support] list_plot libpng error: Image width or height is zero in IHDR

2010-10-21 Thread Johannes Huisman

Bonjour,

It seems to me that the following code should not give an error, even if 
it is true that the points to be plotted are very close to the x-axis. 
Maybe this is a known bug?

Then I'm REALLY glad we are changing the README in the next release!
That file just gives a hypothetical name for the release so we didn't
have to change it every time, incidentally.

So you are saying you have the 10.6 DMG and it's throwing this error
on a Snow Leopard machine?  Assuming you didn't do anything weird to
your Xcode (and don't have Macports/Fink), you could really just
download the source and build it, of course.

The .sage/ directory should be in your top level home directory.  If
you open Terminal, and do

ls -a .sage/

you'll either get an error if it doesn't exist, or it will list things
for you.  You are correct that the error looks like you need to allow
Sage to change the permissions.  It sounds like you already know how
to do this, so I would at least try chmod on that directory, which
should be small if you haven't used Sage much yet.  Do you have
unusually strict permissions set up?

2) Is Sage depending on the autotools installed on the machine ?

During some automatic testing I found an issue with this, and have raised a 
ticket for it. But I have no idea how to fix it.


http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/10117

Sage should not be relying on autotools, but in this case I get the impression 
the package is somewhat poorly configured.

The problem is, this has changed back and forth and that text tries to
cover both. Also, you can use the vmware image in virtualbox - I just
don't know how but there are reports that it is possible. If nothing
of that works fine for you, install wubi [w] on top of windows and
then get the sage binary for ubuntu (or compile from source). That
might be more to download, but saves you time and it runs faster ;)

2010-10-21 Thread remington
i believe that i noticed the same thing when I loaded sage on windows
earlier this year... took me hours to realize that I was supposed to
have VirtualBox and not VMware. Don't know if I just missed something
either, but that at least makes two of us.
