[sage-devel] Re: I'm running Mac OS X. So which version of sage do I install?

A partial answer to my own question: The installation instructions at http://wiki.sagemath.org/DownloadAndInstallationGuide and http://www.sagemath.org/doc/installation/binary.html look pretty easy to update. Now I just need to know what to recommend for 10.5, 64-bit Mac users. -Niles

Is the following a known bug? sage: cd tmp0-50/ [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'tmp0-Integer(50)/' of course it works fine if I put quotes around the filename. (I'm using sage 4.6 on RHEL, but I've noticed similar problems on Mac too) -Niles -- To post to this gro
