Comment(by SimonKing):
Oleksander and Hannes from the Singular team replied. Apparently, there
should be tables in the folder `SAGE_ROOT/local/share/singular/gftables`
(or perhaps in `SAGE_ROOT/local/LIB/gftables`).
In my Sage installation on mark, there is a gftables directory, but it
only contains a table for the field of size 10201.
I am not sure whether the tables should already be created when Singular
is built, or only when a field of a particular size is first created (I
asked the Singular team a few minues ago).
According to the Singular manual, Singular allows all field sizes below
`2^16`. Looking at the gftables directory of my installation on my linux
computer, clearly there are less tables than field sizes. So, I guess that
the tables are only created when needed.
But why is Singular not able to? It seems that `SINGULARPATH` is
available:
{{{
sage: [(s,v) for s,v in os.environ.iteritems() if 'SINGULAR' in s]
[('SINGULAR_EXECUTABLE',
'/home/simonking/SAGE/sage-4.7.1.rc1mark/local/bin/Singular'),
('SINGULARPATH',
'/home/simonking/SAGE/sage-4.7.1.rc1mark/local/share/singular')]
}}}
