[sage-support] Re: installing binary of sage-3.4.1 OSX10.4 on G4
Hi all, after several attempts I was able to produce a Sage-3.4.1dmg the contents of which are drag-and-droppable, and the issue should not arise again (knock on wood) for future versions of Sage. Sorry for that! I expect Sage 3.4.2 to be out before the end of the week, so you might want to wait for this one. I don't know if the re-made Sage-3.4.1dmg will make it to the official Sage download page, poke me if you need it.

I don't know if the re-made Sage-3.4.1dmg will make it to the official Sage download page, poke me if you need it. 3.4.2 is basically done and the last 3.4.2 tarball + the patch at #5981 will be it unless we run into some other issue. I am about to check all my build logs, so we ought to know shortly. Just ping me if/when you have 10.4 binaries and I will at least download and drag drop them this time. Thanks for providing those since we seem to be lacking 10.4 access, especially on G4 otherwise.

Mea culpa maxima. The folder /sage/spkg in the .dmg (and its contents) are uncopyable. Keepers of the oracle, is something going to be done about this?

[sage-support] Re: installing binary of sage-3.4.1 OSX10.4 on G4
Hi sage-support, thanks for reporting this. As was noted in a message above: 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. and I just took that .dmg, opened it, opened a terminal session, cd'ed to a test directory, and executed the adjusted command (e.g. enter cp -R -P /Volumes/sage-, use tab completion, then add /sage . at the end): cp -R -P /Volumes/sage-3.4.1-OSX10.4-32bit-G4-PowerMacintosh- PowerMacintosh-Darwin/sage . and it worked fine. Everything was copied, including the sage/spkg/ content. Please test this, and report back (whether it has worked, or not), thank you! @Michael, Justin: The Readme.txt has not been updated since sage-2.9.2 (obviously), but essentially it describes correctly what to do --- at least to me it was obvious that Adjust the name of the Volume as needed. leads to the above command, and a working Sage. Since I am a developer, things obvious to me might not be so obvious to other people ... but this means I might be the wrong person to try to rephrase the Readme.txt. :-) Thoughts? I had noticed with this 3.4.1 .dmg that dragging and dropping did not work. I don't remember exactly with which version, but I had had another .dmg (not -bdisted by me) with the same problem a while ago. Since the Readme.txt already adressed this issue, I didn't care much, guessing this was some familiar Sage/Mac oddity. I'll poke around a bit nevertheless, if I can manage to create a drag-and- droppable version.

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.

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...
