The last time I built LiDIA was maybe 1999, and it wasn't too hard, though it took a long time. Justin Walker used to also frequently build LiDIA back then. One issue with LiDIA is that I think -- and correct me if I'm wrong -- that it still officially has a non-GPL compatible license. There was a mailing list post from somebody several months ago that they would GPL LiDIA, but I don't know if that person actually owned the copyright, or if the university would allow it, or if anything actually came of it. If not, it would be great is somebody who remembers could track this down or email again to bug them. Having some benchmarks comparing PARI and Magma will be really useful. But for now I'm mainly worried about even having some part of the *functionality* of Magma in algebraic number theory, since presently we are even way way behind there. -- William Stein Associate Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://www.williamstein.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
