Thank you. I'll look at that patch from 15 months ago and see if I can integrate it. I did not notice this issue on my home machine (Sun Blade 2000), as I did not have the Sun C++ compiler installed such that it could be found in the path. Hence this failed on t2 as polybori could find the compiler. This is one example of a package which works on one machine but not on another, just as a result as the second machine having some other bit of software installed that the first did not. He we MUST test on many different machines where possible. Differ people set their machines up differently. dave --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] 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://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
