Thank you for the fast answer. 1.) One of my computers is a five year old "Fujitsu-Siemens Livebook C1110D" 1a) I tried WindowsXP, SP3 --> SAGE 3.4.1 did not work. 1b) I tried WindowsXP, SP2 --> SAGE 3.4.1 did not work. 1c) I tried the "Sage LiveCD" (which has its own UNIX operation system) on this computer and it also didn't work. Maybe it is a hint, that the problem is independent from the Operating system (but it can be also a problem with the LiveCD).
1d) Following is the result of cat /proc/cpuinfo for this computer: processor: : 0 vendor_id: GenuineIntel cpu family: 6 model: 9 model name: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1400Mhz stepping: 5 cpu Mhz: 1399.177 cache size: 1024 kB fdiv_bug: no hlt_bug: no f00f_bug: no coma_bug: no fpu: yes fpu_exeption: yes cupid level: 2 wp: yes flags: fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 up bogomips: 2803.98 2.) Second computer is a Desktop with WindowsXP, SP3. 2a) When starting SAGE 3.4.1, it will not work and I receive the error message concerning the sse2 flag. (I don't receive this message with the above mentioned Siemens Laptop, No 1.). The message is "Warning! This Sage install was build on a machine that supports instructions that are not available on this computer. Sage will likely fail with Illegal Instruction errors! The following processor flags were on the build machine but are not on this vomputer: sse2 " 2b) Following is the result of this Desktop: processor: : 0 vendor_id: AuthenticAMD cpu family: 6 model: 8 model name: AMD Athlon (TM) XP2200+ stepping: 1 cpu Mhz: 1799.135 cache size: 256 kB fdiv_bug: no hlt_bug: no f00f_bug: no coma_bug: no fpu: yes fpu_exeption: yes cupid level: 1 wp: yes flags: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse syscall mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow up ts bogomips: 3615.72 3) The third computer is also a Desktop. SAGE 3.4.1 is running on this computer under WindowsXP, Service Pack 2. 3a) Cpuinfo reports the following flages: "fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge cmov pat clflush acpi mmx fxse sse sse2 nx up pni rng rng_en ace ace_en." RESULT: Computer No 1 has the sse2 flag, but doesn't run SAGE 3.4.1 (SAGE 3.2.3 did run). Computer No. 2 doen't have the sse2 flag and doesn't run SAGE 3.4.1. Computer No. 3 has the ss2 flag and runs SAGE 3.4.1. The result seams to be independent from SP2 or SP3. Maybe it would be a good idea to compile Sage without the sse2 flag (whatever it is...) Hopefully it helps.
