Hi,

I have a similar situation (vmware on windows 7). I don't recall if I
get the exact same error but I do get something similar. The build
seems to stop with an error but it also seems to be only that the
output is not updating. If I leave the build for a while (maybe 10
min) it will resume. My guess is that the output is buffered so you
don't see that the build is still working. Try giving it some time
first.

Cheers,
Adam

I am not really certain but I don't know of any other flags so I would
guess so. Normally, Matplotlib tries to build for everything that it
can detect. I do a test where I take the matplotlib from the web-site
and build it without installing it. There is information at the start
of the build about which libraries that it found. I use that to test
my system to make sure that it will build the ones that I want.

My guess is that matplotlib was built without the gui. I build Sage
from source and in that case it is necessary to set an environment
variable. For example in bash: export SAGE_MATPLOTLIB_GUI='yes'. This
then will tell it to try to build a gui. It does require that the
needed devel packages are present. Matplotlib can use several such as
Tk, Qt, Gtk.

Hi,

You are using the system-wide easy_install rather than the sage one.
Do 'sage -sh' first and then use easy_install. That will install into
your sage location.

sage: polynomial.roots?

gives lots of information including the calling information:
polynomial.roots(self, ring=None, multiplicities=True, algorithm
=None)

It appears that a ring is needed. If I do
sage: polynomial.roots(RR)
[(0.000, 1), (2.33, 1)]

There may be more information in the doc string that is useful for
you.

Hi,

As I recall, you need to set an environment variable before building
matplotlib. In bash:
$ export SAGE_MATPLOTLIB_GUI='yes'

You will also need the dev pakages installed.
$ sudo apt-get install tk-dev tcl-dev

After installing the dev packages you should only have to reinstall
matplotlib.
$ sage -f matplotlib

Hi,

The source file is called sage-4.3.3.tar. You have a binary package
which does not require running make. I don't know if that package will
work as it uses newer libraries but you should be able to just run
sage and try it.

If the binary does not work than you can try to build from source.
FWIW I have been building Sage on Scientific Linux 5.1 for at least a
year.

Adam

I was looking at a couple of random notebooks and I found one with

I deal with spectra which are generated one at time by the instrument.
The processing may have to directed by a person as the series is
likely to include multiple samples and/or bad scans. This might mean
grouping spectra while discarding unusable files.

I am trying to come up with a scheme that is easy to use for the
people using the instrument. They may be experts in their field but
don't necessarily have strong computer skills. Any interface needs to
be simple. I know from experience that any extra steps is a barrier.

I had not thought of an @interact. That might be quite useful. There
may be a different approach. I am also thinking of making a small
local gui and using the remote Sage server. This would be something
like remote-sagetex. This would also get around having the user
manually zip things. They can just select the files and they are
handled as needed. However, it means making the gui and I rather like
the notebook. I have to think about it.

Well I agree that I don't want just any web-app to have local access.
So I will simply put it down as being a bad idea.

Using a zip-file is still an option. I called it unfriendly as it
means that the user will have to use another program to prepare the
data first. It isn't a deal-breaker though.

I was mostly just wondering how other people deal with this situation
or perhaps it doesn't come up with most Sage users.

Thanks for the rapid response,
Adam

[sage-support] Using many local files with remote notebook

2009-12-29 Thread Adam Webb
Hi all,

I often have multiple files for analysis. For example, I might have a
few hundred spectra in a single directory as a single series. I want
to run a script that loads them one at a time, does something on each,
and returns a result in a final file. This works fine in a local
setting. The question is, how I might do this with a remote server?
Ideally, I would like to be able to set up a notebook that a user can
(easily) use and work on a directory of local files. The user would be
on a Windows machine and Sage would be on a separate machine.

I can upload one file at a time to the notebook but that gets rather
boring for a hundred files. :-\ I thought about using a zip file but
this is not very user friendly. Is there a better way, i.e. to tell
the notebook to use the local directory?

Cheers,
Adam

Hi,

What worked for me was to download a jsMath font from

install the fonts into my ~/.fonts directory. I find that this is
often the easiest way to install fonts and of course does not need

[sage-support] using Matplotlib and sagetex

Hi,

I would like to add plots to a document using sagetex and my script
uses matplotlib to generate the plot. Is it possible to matplotlib
with sagetex? I understand that /sageplot{} wants a 
with a .save method. However, I have not found how to generate such an
object.

For example if I use the simple example:
sage: from pylab import *
sage: t = arange(0.0, 2.0, 0.01)
sage: s = sin(2*pi*t)
sage: P = plot(t, s, linewidth=1.0)
sage: xl = xlabel('time (s)')
sage: yl = ylabel('voltage (mV)')
sage: t = title('About as simple as it gets, folks')
sage: grid(True)
sage: savefig('sage.png')

Where is the ?

It turns out that although SELinux is installed it is actually
disabled because it interferes to much and since I live behind a
firewall it deemed unneeded. So I am back to square one.

At the moment I went into the last file in the traceback: sage/local/
lib/python2.5/site-packages/twisted/python/util.py and put in a
statement to set setgroups and getgroups to None. If I understand the
comments, this forces the case where the OS does not support this. My
initial test is that this works but I have no idea what the side
effects might be.

I don't so but I was upgraded from SDL 5 to 5.1 and something may have
changed. I am not the administrator so it is possible that something
like selinux has been added or policy changed without telling me. I
would guess that you are probably right and I will ask the
administrator.

It looks like you are missing header files. I doubt the EEEpc has any
development packages installed by default. You could start by looking
at the SAGE installation guide. http://www.sagemath.org/doc/inst/inst.html
Check to see if you have the basic packages installed. I see a number
of missing header files including things like stdio.h and stdlib.h
which are common files. (perhaps in libstdc++6-dev?) Other ones look
like python files. Do you have python-devel installed?

cheers,
Adam

PS For future reference: it is not usually necessary nor desired to
post the entire error output unless asked. It is generally better to
only post the important bits.

[sage-support] Re: Problem of using sagetex with a MikTeX system

2008-08-22 Thread Adam Webb

Hi,

It appears that sagetex is not installed for MikTek. This is not
surprising. The first thing would be to install it from CTAN (http://
www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/sagetex/). I cannot say
for certain but I assume that it should work.

Moving files in and out of vmware should be simply a matter of scp (eg
winscp).

I hope this helps,

Adam

PS I do not have a system to test this.

[sage-support] problems building matplotlib on Ubuntu 8.04

2008-07-03 Thread Adam Webb

Hi all,

I have been having problems with Matplotlib on Ubuntu 8.04 (AMD-64).
Specifically, I am having trouble with the backends. If I build
Matplotlib separately I get the following for information about
backends.

OPTIONAL BACKEND DEPENDENCIES
libpng: 1.2.15beta5
   Tkinter: no
* Tkinter present, but header files are not
found.
* You may need to install development
packages.
  wxPython: 2.6.3.2
  Gtk+: gtk+: 2.12.9, glib: 2.16.3, pygtk: 2.12.1,
pygobject: 2.14.1
Qt: no
   Qt4: no
 Cairo: 1.4.0

In fact, I do have Tcl/Tk headers but they are not found. This is a
known issue: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg02799.html

However, when I look into the install.log file of Sage I find:

OPTIONAL BACKEND DEPENDENCIES
libpng: 1.2.15beta5
   Tkinter: no
* Tkinter present, but header files are not
found.
* You may need to install development
packages.
  wxPython: no
* wxPython not found
  Gtk+: no
* Building for Gtk+ requires pygtk; you must
be able
* to "import gtk" in your build/install
environment
Qt: no
   Qt4: no
 Cairo: no

It can not find anything and so does not build any and so various
tests fail. I also tried using sage -python to build Matplotlib with
the same result (no backends found).  I was hoping to use another
backend until a fix for the tcl/tk problem is found.

Any ideas would be welcome.

Cheers,
Adam

Of course it wasn't 8.10. I am running Ubuntu 8.04. My mistake. :-)

Hi,

I tried a few settings in matplotlibrc and found that TkAgg worked.

Thanks,

[sage-support] matplotlib show command not showing plot

2008-05-18 Thread Adam Webb

I have recently had a problem plotting with matplotlib in sage 3.0 and
now also in sage 3.0.1.
Even if I try the simplest plot from the matplotlib tutorial, I don't
get a plot.

sage: from pylab import *
sage: plot([1,2,3,4])
[]
sage: show()
sage:

I have tried this in both the notebook and from the command line. I
have also tried using sage -python and ipython. In all cases no plot
appears. In fact nothing seems to happen. There is no window or plot
and unfortunately, no error message.

I have installed sage 3.0.1 from source on two machines. One is
running Ubuntu 8.10 on AMD 64 and the other is a 32 bit machine
running Scientific Linux 5.0. I also tried the binary: sage-3.0.1-
rhel32bit-intel-sse2-i686-Linux.tar.gz.

I have tried removing .matplotlib and .ipython from my home directory
but this had no effect.

Cheers,
Adam
