Sage is still far from perfect, unfortunately, but there are a lot of us working extremely hard to make it a truly viable alternative to Maple (not an easy task). > I'm sorry to bother you about this, but I'm having a problem > installing > version 2.8.10 of SAGE on my laptop (Mac OS X 10.4.10 with a PowerPC > G4 > CPU).

Since it sounds like you're perfectly happy to install a binary if one is available, and debugging a build problem on a ppc osx box that has been around a while can be somewhat time consuming (wrong Xcode version, weird libraries in /usr/local/lib/, weird interaction with fink or DarwinPorts, etc.), I've posted another 2.8.10 binary for ppc osx here. http://sagemath.org/SAGEbin/apple_osx/powerpc/ -- William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://sage.math.washington.edu/sage/ and http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
