Dear Dave, > The previous issue observed in Sage with PolyBoRi picking up the wrong > compiler (Sun's C++ compiler instead of gcc) is resolved.

I'm not sure how much of this is PolyBoRi, or how much > is due to people patching the code in Sage. I'll try to find time to have a look at it. But unfortunately, Sun, in particular the Sun-Compiler, is out of the scope of the projects, I'm working on. So I cannot promise to fix it in the next days. Meanwhile, you can have a look, how to teach the Sun-Compiler the missing STL stuff (see below).

[...] These warning seem to be caused, because a C function was called by C++ code. But as there are only warnings, I would postpone that issue. Mor interesting is the following. > "polybori/include/CCuddNavigator.h", line 157: Error: iterator_traits is > not a member of std. std::iterator_traits is part of the C++ standard. So maybe one hat to tell the Sun-Compiler to obey C++98 or later? As far as I can see, the remaining errors are caused by that error. Best regards, Alexander -- Dr. rer. nat. Dipl.-Math.
