I think you meant to say it's a *64*-bit Ubuntu 8.04 box. If for some reason that doesn't work, building from source is really easy--just unpack the .tar, type make, and wait 3-4 hours. >>> 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 short, the only difference is that the binary doesn't come with (all) the source to save space (and, of course, you don't have to wait for it to build). - Robert -- 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
