Basically m4 is the macroprocessor. you need to run following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install m4

hope it will be informative.

cheers :)

You need to install the build-essentials package and the gfortran package.

[sage-support] Issues with compiling

2012-05-09 Thread Eric Kangas
Hi,

I had to redo my computer. Was unable to access sage when I saved the sage 
folder on my external drive. I am having issues with finding the path to 
gfortran so I can use the export function. I am using ubuntu 10.10 and sage 
4.7.2. I have installed gfortran. However I use the search for files option 
under places, but nothing shows up.

You could also be too lazy to learn how to check what is listening on which 
port in Windows and also have a legitimate program that is already 
listening to that port... 
For example some maintenance software from your laptop vendor (as the Sony 
VAIO stuff mentioned on the same page).

In fact I would put my money on this because I had the same behavior on my 
laptop a long time ago and have little chance to have any trojan or 
malicious stuff on it because the first thing I used to do when I booted 
into windows was to update it and I never installed anything exotic except 
for VLC.
And I definitely had a bunch of Lenovo crappy software installed by default 
and which would do plenty of stuff I was not even aware of.
You could argue that such software is actually malware.

My money is on the following answer posted on the above ask page: "There 
are a few trojans / backdoors that use 8000, so perhaps booting an 
Antivirus disk and doing a full scan would be a good idea."

If you can't figure out what is binding port 8000 then you should take your 
zombie offline before it sends out more spam.

And I think that the port 8000 was dysfunctional because some service 
already listened on that port (I don't have the computer at hand anymore so 
cannot check...)
as suggested by this result from a simple google query:

[sage-support] Re: Sage installation on windows : browser cannot connect

2012-05-09 Thread Jean-Pierre Flori
Today at some Sage meeting in Paris, we encountered this problem once more 
with Sage 4.7.2 vbox image within Windows 7.
The image was correctly (or seemingly correctly) preconfigured with 8000 on 
the outside pointing toward 8000 on the inside and  into 22.

Once more it was possible to ssh from the outside into the inside (using 
putty and port  as expected).
Nonetheless accessing localhost:8000 or 127.0.0.1:8000 gave a "Not found" 
error.

After some random stupid ideas, changing the port forwarding of Virtualbox 
to redirect  (a random good looking number which has no special reason 
to be in use or forbidden) from the outside to 8000 inside the virtual 
machine solved the problem!
Don't ask me why Windows 7 does not like the 8000 port... nor why it 
preferred the  one.
