If one has the environment variable SAGE_LOCAL whose purpose is to point to SAGE_ROOT/local but Sage scripts and source don't use SAGE_LOCAL, I would question the purpose of having SAGE_LOCAL in the first place. Now why would Sage source and scripts not use SAGE_LOCAL? In particular, which scripts and Sage library files don't honour/use SAGE_LOCAL? -- 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
