I've no idea why this is happening, although I was the one who created that SPARC binary. I've moved it around on different systems, with different install paths and not had a problem.

The documentation which says the latest version to build on Solaris is 4.3.0.1 is outdated (my fault). 4.3.4 does fully build on Solaris, and passes all the tests - something that 4.3.0.1 never did.

I've just started to create a .lzma format file at:

http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/sage-4.3.4-Solaris-sun4u-SunOS.tar.lzma

That has finished. I suggest you download that, but build the lzma decompression program to decompress it. It will probably take you far less time to build the decompression program than it will to download a .bz2 file, which would be 200 /MB larger (.bz2 is around 500 MB

I've started to compress it with p7zip on a Sun SPARC. You will find the file in this directory:

http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/Solaris-binaries/

but I suspect that will take hours to compress. Once that is done, you can download that and just use p7zip on Solaris to decompress it.

Let us know how you get on.

That binary was created on a sun4u machine and has been run on sun4v too and passes all the self-tests.


Dave
