== Hardware & associated software ==
* Sun Blade 1000
* 2 x 900 MHz UltraSPARC III+ CPUs
* 2 GB RAM
* Solaris 10 03/2005 (first release of Solaris 10)
* gcc 4.4.3 (uses Sun linker and assembler)
== Sage version ==
* 4.3.4.alpha1
This builds fully on Solaris 10, and passes all doc tests. This is the
first version of Sage to do this.
== The problem with the optional database_gap-4.4.12 ==

}}}
== The solution ==
spkg-install looks a bit of a mess to me. I will need to try to work out
what the author intended. SPKG.txt gives no idea of the author or anything
very useful. It's contents are just:
{{{
GAP's databases of finite groups and table of marks.
}}}
I need to be a bit of a detective to work this out!!
