[sage-devel] Sage 4.1.2.alpha4 released

2009-09-27 Thread Minh Nguyen
Hi folks, Yes, you heard right. It's Sage 4.1.2.alpha4, not 4.1.2.alpha3. Sage 4.1.2.alpha3 was released by William Stein for working on making the notebook a self-contained package. The source tarball for Sage 4.1.2.alpha4 is up at http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mvngu/release/upgrade/sage

[sage-devel] f2c ignores CC and uses gcc anyway

Using * Solaris 10 update 7 on SPARC * sage-4.1.2.alpha2 * Sun Studio 12.1 * An updated configure script to allow the Sun compiler to be used. I find that 'f2c' is ignoring the CC variable. This is now http://sagetrac.org/sage_trac/ticket/7027 f2c-20070816.p1/src/libf2c/._z

[sage-devel] linbox says GMP is not installed, even though MPIR is

2009-09-27 Thread Dr. David Kirkby
Since building a configure script which allows one to attempt to build Sage with Sun Studio, I discovered that linbox thinks GMP is not installed, even though it appears to be. This is http://sagetrac.org/sage_trac/ticket/7026 and is very similar to http://sagetrac.org/sage_trac/ticket/7025

[sage-devel] givaro 3.2.13rc2 says GMP is not installed, even though MPIR is

2009-09-27 Thread Dr. David Kirkby
Here's another issue noticed when trying to build Sage sage-4.1.2.alpha2 with Sun Studio. It is a bit of an odd one too. Despite mpir having been installed properly (gmp the header and library files are present), givaro exits at the configure stage, as it believes GMP >= 3.1.1 does not exist.

[sage-devel] Flint ignores CC and CXX.

2009-09-27 Thread Dr. David Kirkby
Since producing a new 'configure' script that allows one to attempt to build Sage with Sun's compiler, not surprisingly I found a few packages which ignore the fact CC and CXX are set, and do their own thing anyway. Flint is one of them. flint-1.3.0.p2/src/profiler.h flint-1.3.0.p2/src/mpn_ex

Hi all, let me catch this notebook refactoring to ask for something that just came to my mind. Let's assume you have any kind of design or analysis process flow, one great thing I'd like to have is the chance to define some input variables to be equal to a value that, whenever is updated, all the

Hi folks, Ticket #6580 [1] is meant to have ratpoints build with GCC 3.4.x. The Sage build farm uses GCC >= 4.0.1 and ticket #7021 [2] has the updated package prereq-0.4 which checks that the target platform has GCC >= 4.0.1. With the updated prereq-0.4 spkg, it invalidates the GCC 3.4.x requirem
