New description:
In Sage we are currently shipping some 0.98.beta release of tachyon.
Update to the official upstream release 0.98.9 (released January 18th
2010; still current on August 26th 2010).
This will (not only) require cleaning up SPKG.txt.

Comment(by leif):
The whole spkg really needs clean-up. (And Sage's '''beta''' version is
out of date since at least 19 month; by now, the current one is [still]
0.98.9 - as in the ticket's title, last updated by Mariah.)
I have absolutely no idea why {{{spkg-install}}} does the following on
Linux:
{{{
#!sh
make linux-thr
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "Maybe your system is 64-bit; trying again."
if [ `uname -m` = "ia64" ]; then
echo "ia64"
make linux-ia64-thr
else
echo "64-bit arch"
make linux-64-thr
fi
fi
}}}
This might even "fail" (building just a 32-bit version on 64-bit Linuces)
when the required (multi-arch/32-bit) libraries are present. And if the
32-bit build fails for some reason on a real 32-bit system, it doesn't
make sense to attempt a 64-bit build.
