(mostly due to Bernhards help) I've pushed a draft for singular-3-1-4. currently, the Singular shell runs and the development headers and library are in place. my only test case for it is an (experimental) sage, which throws an error $ python -c'from sage import all' // ***dError: Bug reported: Could not get expanded executable from // libsingular.so occured at feResource.cc,443 occured at: value: feInitResource: entering for BinDir feInitResource: entering for Singular feGetExpandedExecutable: calling find_exec with =libsingular.so= feGetExpandedExecutable: find_exec exited with ==-1 As i have never been a Singular user, and (apart from sage) do not have any use for it, i would be happy if somebody could test the packages with simpler examples and for his own purpose and help point out the problems. regards felix -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
