Thank you Francois In that case, there's a good argument for commenting out that option. Cliquer is the first package to fail on HP-UX, and from what I can see, it should be easy to fix. (There's a further issue that the extension for shared libraries on HP-UX is .sl, not .so, but it should build very easily otherwise.) Shared libraries seem to be the biggest headache in Sage, with different linkers wanting different options and about 4 or 5 different extensions used on various playforms (HP-UX, Cygwin and in some cases OS X all wanting their own unique extension, different to the more common .so. dave -- To post to this group, send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
