Hi all, trying to (finally) give #7112 a positive review (which it surely deserves, but I wanted to test this myself thoroughly first), I ran into another, new problem. It's now trac ticket #7186, see there for full details. In a nutshell, the recent maxima/ecl upgrade seems to have introduced ha

Lots of packages in Sage make use of a program called 'install'. If you build Sage on Solaris, you might well have noticed warnings about 'install' not supporting a specific option. There are a few issues with 'install' * On Solaris, the only one is in /usr/sbin, which is where normally only r
