I used Debian/Ubuntu to install Sage 3.0.5 and that version is giving lots of errors. What can I do? The version of Sage, i.e. Sage version 3.0.5, that's available through apt-get in Debian and Ubuntu is very old. No-one has yet found time to update the Debian/Ubuntu version of Sage. Help wanted! You should download the latest version of Sage from the download page (http://www.sagemath.org/download.html). If you would like to help with updating the Debian/Ubuntu version of Sage, please email the sage-devel mailing list (http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel). </quote> > I'm not sure what you mean by "system-wide" though. Could you explain > what exactly that means? By default on Debian and Ubuntu, any program that you install using "apt-get install" or a package manager (e.g. Synaptic) will install it system-wide. That is, the relevant binaries will be placed under any of the following system-wide directories: /bin/ /usr/bin /usr/local/bin /opt/ For more information on the Linux file system, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard -- 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
