Great, that worked! I should have read the FAQ beforehand. Here is what I did:
sudo su cd /usr/local/sage rm spkg/installed/mpir* spkg/installed/atlas* make Let me see if I got this right: In principle the advantage of a virtual machine is that from inside the environment looks the same, no matter on which host the virtual machine is run. However for performance reasons there are still some features of the host hardware visible to the VM such as the CPU. As some packages inside Sage depend on the CPU instruction set, it may thus be necessary to recompile them when running the vm on a different host. Correct?
