2008-10-23 Thread Martin Rubey

I tried to compile Sage from source, but it ran out of memory compiling
linbox.  Is there a workaround?

Hi Martin,

Unfortunately not. gcc is an absolute pig when instantiating templates
and with LinBox you need anywhere from 350 to 700MB memory. You can
add swap space which will make the compilation work, but slow it down
by quiet a lot, i.e. I have build LinBox on a G4 with 256 MB physical
RAM, it just took a while.  Which hardware are you using?

 Martin

Cheers,

The error message Illegal instruction means that you are using
a binary install of Sage that was built on a computer whose processor
has instructions that your computer's processor doesn't have.
You will likely have to build from source, or wait for somebody
to provide a binary for you that works on your hardware.

A few days ago I got an older Pentium M thinkpad fix, and once I install
Ubuntu Linux on it, I could likely use it to build a binary that will work
for you.   Last time I tried to build Sage on it, the fan in the laptop died!
So I had to get that fixed, which I've now done.

 Note: the only thing I did before was to try SymPy, since I wanted to try
 out
 it's plotting capabilities.  Now, I'm lucky and have the complete history
 still
 on my screen, find it below.

 Help would be very much appreciated.

 Is it a no no to import SymPy?

Please paste the output of

   cat /proc/cpuinfo

into an email response.This will contain a list of instruction
sets supported by your computer's processor.  I'll then compare
it with the list of instruction sets supported by the machine on
which that binary was built...

Notice that your Pentium M is missing several of these, for example,
it is missing sse2.Thus the binary won't work.   (I haven't
written code to detect missing instructions sets and make Sage not
run, which is on trac, but hasn't been included in Sage yet, due to
some differences in opinion about how prohibitive we should be.)

When I have Pentium M binaries, you'll be set to use those, and this
will be soon, given my new hardware.

Maybe someone is willing to send you a binary that is compatible with 
your computer?  I just checked my laptop and I have SSE2 on it, so I'm 
afraid I may not be able to help.

You could always run the vmware image.

Huh, based on the /proc/cpuinfo on my virtualbox image, it seems that 
the image identifies the processor as the actual processor on the box 
(so I have sse2 in my virtualbox image as well).
