There are binaries for Ubuntu 9.10, both 32- and 64-bit. There are no binaries for Ubuntu 8.04 64-bit. If you want a binary for that platform, you could download the source tarball of Sage 4.2.1 and compile the source on that platform. > How it is different from compiling the source package? Each source tarball is shipped with the source of the standard packages that make up Sage. In particular, the Sage standard library is one of many standard packages. A binary of Sage doesn't ship with the source of most standard packages. This is to save space, otherwise you would get a binary that is bigger in terms of megabytes than currently is the case. However, note that each binary also contains the source of the Sage standard library. -- Regards Minh Van Nguyen -- 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 URL: http://www.sagemath.org
