I assume you already checked that: /usr/local/sage/sage-4.7.2/local/lib/python2.6/site- packages/sage/misc/randstate.dll exists? (at least I guess cygwin makes .dll's and no .so's.). If it doesn't exist something went wrong with the cython compilation process. -- To post to this group, send an

VirtualBox is GPL version 2. Oracle has a more-restricted add-on package to support virtual USB and so on, but we don't need that for Sage purposes. Also we are not linking to VirtualBox, so there shouldn't be any conflict with GPL v2 vs. v3. But then IANAL ;-) -- To post to this group, send a

Hi, LinBox uses the BLAS for dense matrices mod p where p <= 2^23, hence it would benefit from advances in that direction. There is also some (experimental?) code for dealing with non-prime fields in LinBox. Furthermore, there is some code - AFAIK not in LinBox yet - for packing multiple primes int
