I realised it resided in $SAGE_ROOT/spkg/base/ but even since it run before bzip is installed, it is not in the usual .spkg format either. Everywhere where I could find prereq-0.3, I added a similar prereq-0.4 (changing directory names and file names as appropriate) and still I could only get the 0.3 to run. One of the 0.3 files has the name of the tar file, with a 0.3 inside it, so I changed that too. Still the 0.3 run. I'll have to take another look at it - whatever the trick is, it's so far foxed me! dave --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
