That has solved it - we now have a release of Sage which builds irrespective of whether the Sun compilers are present or not!!! That must be a real stop forward. drkir...@swan:[~/sage-4.3.0.1] $ make <SNIP> Sage build/upgrade complete! drkir...@swan:[~/sage-4.3.0.1] $ uname -a SunOS swan 5.10 Generic_141444-09 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000 drkir...@swan:[~/sage-4.3.0.1] $ ./sage ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Sage Version 4.3.0.1, Release Date: 2010-01-28 | | Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sage: 12*122 1464 sage: quit Exiting SAGE (CPU time 0m0.16s, Wall time 0m12.63s). Can that be put on the web site, hopefully in a place where it is very obvious I think it would be wisest if I built a binary here, and uploaded that. It wil take some time as first I would need to build it on a old/slow computer which has the first release of Solaris 10. Then I would have to upload it. But it should then work on any Solaris 10 machine, whereas the binary I currently have could only be guaranteed to work on Solaris 10 update 7 or later. BTW, such an old version of Solaris could not be installed on 't2' - the machine is too new. I think the earliest version of Solaris 10 supported on 't2' would be Solaris 10 update 4. I specifically installed this version of Sage on an old machine, for building Sage binaries. William did mention he might be able to get me access to an older (but faster) machine at Harvard which runs Solaris 9, but get that upgraded to Solaris 10. But until that happens, it will be best if I build a binary at home and upload it.
