I think I misunderstood you. So allow me to apologize. What I'm trying to say is that one should avoid trying to use a system-wide Sage installation to run its own doctests. (Also avoid (re)building the Sage standard documentation in a system-wide Sage installation.) Could you please try running doctests using the system-wide Sage installation on the machine sage.math, and report how it goes? At the moment, it looks like I can do what you described above. However, looking at the file permissions in the system-wide installation of Sage 4.3.3 on the machine sage.math, I see that I have read and write privileges for some files and directories. (I shouldn't be having such privileges on sage.math for the system-wide Sage installation.) -- Regards Minh Van Nguyen -- 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
