[sage-support] Re: installing binary of sage-3.4.1 OSX10.4 on G4
Thank you very much! This may have worked. When first started, sage complained about not have the folder "spkg". In fact, it did not and I just added the older one from 3.4. I hope that's OK. armand On May 2, 3:08 pm, curious wrote: > This problem is just that the folder sage in the dmg cannot be copied. > However, > the contents of the folder _can_ be copied, so the solution is to > create a folder > somewhere on the machine hard disk (or an external disk) and copy the > contents > of the folder sage on the dmg to the new folder. > > David Galant > > On May 2, 9:34 am, curious wrote: > > > This problem is not unique, I am having the identical problem.

When I say I cannot move the sage folder, I mean, it just jumps back into the .dmg package with NO complaints or error messages. I have no evidence of any problem with my OSX (I downloaded 3.4 about 3 or 4 weeks ago with no problems). I also re- downloaded both with Firefox and with Safari. Always the same result. The README.text file includes ** WARNING ** If you get an error copying the folder do the following: Do not drag the the folder out of the dmg image. Use the shell (via Terminal) and do a "cp -R -P /Volumes/sage-2.9.2-OSX10.4-intel-i386-Darwin/sage ." from the location where you want to install to. Adjust the name of the Volume as needed. This is why I think there may be a mix-up, since the G4 is NOT an Intel machine...

As said in my email, it is not possible to move the sage folder out of the .dmg container. Also, the only to move this non-working .dmg into the trash is to force Finder to quit and restart! Thank you.

[sage-support] installing binary of sage-3.4.1 OSX10.4 on G4
I wonder if the new binary of sage-3.4.1 OSX10.4 for MAC G4 is correct. or if I am doing something wrong. The sage folder in the .dmg cannot be moved to my User Account as in the previous version. According to the Read-me file, it seems possible that it really is an Intel version. Please help.
