#9723: Sage will not start on 64-bit Solaris 10 - looks like related to M4RI
upgrade

== Hardware/Software ==
* [http://www.oracle.com/us/products/servers-storage/servers/sparc-
enterprise/t-series/031584.htm Sun T5240]
* [http://www.oracle.com/us/products/servers-
storage/microelectronics/031459.htm T2 PLUS] processors running at 1167
MHz. (16 cores and 128 hardware threads in total).
* 32 GB RAM
* No swap space
* gcc 4.4.1 configured to use the Sun linker and assembler.
* Sage 4.5.3.alpha0, with the following 4 new .spkg files, which are
necessary to allow Sage to build on 64-bit on Solaris/!OpenSolaris on both
SPARC and x64.
* ECL - #9643. This was not necessary for 64-bit SPARC, but it would
have been for 64-bit Solaris or !OpenSolaris x86 builds, and was included
in this build.
* ATLAS #9508
* Singular #9397 (Despite the ticket's says !OpenSolaris, there is a
critical 64-bit fix for Solaris 10 on SPARC too. Many of the problems
first observed on a 64-bit !OpenSolaris port also affect the 64-bit
Solaris 10 SPARC port).
* zn_poly #9358 (Again, despite what the ticket's title is, this is
also another fix which is essential for Sage to build 64-bit on Solaris 10
SPARC)
== Background ==
Although a fully stable copy of Sage on 64-bit Solaris 10 SPARC has never
been built, Sage has at least built and able to do computations. See for
example [http://groups.google.co.uk/group/sage-devel/msg/63dd0f2d01bcfe4e
factoring 323232323923321 on 64-bit Solaris SPARC].
As shown above, Sage 4.5.0 could be made to work, though I believe more
recent versions have worked too.
I've previously built Sage 64-bit on SPARC on both
{{{t2.math.washington.edu}}} and on one of my own Solaris 10 SPARC systems
- either my Sun Blade 1000 or my Sun Blade 2000 - I can not recall which).
== The problem ==
4.5.3.alpha0, with the four .spkg files mentioned above, builds on Solaris
10 SPARC. The file install.log shows:
{{{
To install gap, gp, singular, etc., scripts
in a standard bin directory, start sage and
type something like
sage: install_scripts('/usr/local/bin')
at the Sage command prompt.
To build the documentation, run
make doc
Sage build/upgrade complete!
}}}
However, the build fails to start at all on {{{t2.math.washington.edu}}},
whereas a previous Sage was just about usable, though it was unstable.
Instead 4.5.3.alpha0 fails with:
{{{
kir...@t2:64 ~/t2/64/sage-4.5.3.alpha0$ ./sage

== Likely cause ==
mzd_lqup issues reported have been part of M4RI problems, but M4RI has not
been updated recently to my knowledge.
