[sage-devel] libpng and R

2010-07-04 Thread Glenn Tarbox, PhD
I ran into this by chance and don't know what to make of it, particularly since Sage is bundling libpng On one machine (i7) I see: checking for deflate in -lz... yes checking for libpng12-config... /mnt/hdb/sage/sage-4.4.4/local/bin/libpng12-config checking for libpng-config... /mnt/hdb/sage/sage

[sage-devel] the creeping library collision problem...

2009-11-18 Thread Glenn Tarbox, PhD
I'm probably not the typical sage user in that I use a broad array of tools alongside and integrated into Sage. While Sage makes life easier for many by including virtually everything anyone would need in one massive install, where there are package replications, it becomes problematic. Previousl

[sage-devel] sage -sh changes

2009-10-26 Thread Glenn Tarbox, PhD
Beginning with Release 4.1.2, "sage -sh" was adjusted and now completely strips the users environment as set in the various .*rc files. I'm assuming there were collisions between variables needed by sage and those the user may be setting. However, this recent change seems extreme and makes using

Related to discussions on the notebook and extending the core Sage infrastructure, I stumbled across a thread on the twisted mailing list http://twistedmatrix.com/pipermail/twisted-python/2009-July/020069.html which discusses a new introduction to asynchronous programming, why its good / necessar

[sage-devel] Using Cython / Numpy with Sage...

2009-06-07 Thread Glenn Tarbox, PhD
This has become a two part question / issue: - The use of Cython / Numpy in the notebook - The use of Cython / Numpy on the command line Cython itself seems to work fine with the "Hello World" example, so the core installation is consistent with the base cython package (at least with my adm
