ah, this is it. See, i've installed mac os x instead of ubuntu (i had ubuntu alone on my macbook, originally), so i had to format the whole ext3 filesystem and OS X asked if i wanted the thing to be case- sensitive. I thought hey, it'll be closer to unix if it is. Poor choice... > If (b) is the case you might be able to fix this by linking LIB to lib > in $SAGE_LOCAL. so i went to /Applications/sage/local and went ln -s lib LIB It works now ! thanks ! i'm worried though : is this thing going to haunt me every time i upgrade ??? and how come the bug does not show up on linux FS, which are case-sensitive ? cheers pierre --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
