I get the following error when trying to compile sage with gcc 5.2. I believe it is the same as the ticket here http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/18977#no1. I am running Manjaro linux.

Since this is presumably fixed, can you try the latest beta/rc candidate? You can get the latest beta version from the "develop" git branch. Alternatively, the self-contained source tarball is at http://www.sagemath.org/download-latest.html On Saturday, October 3, 2015 at 10:35:58 AM UTC+2,

I think that if you look back at the early rave reviews of Mathematica in such notable scientific journals as the New York Times, you will see that the reporters were impressed by color graphics of 3-d plots and endorsement of such scientific notables as Steve Jobs, Also the eccentric aspects of

Hi, In the meantime, I think ASAP on the OS X binary download page we should: (1) move the "Usage:" message to the top (it's *hidden* at the bottom where nobody will ever see it). (2) add that there is no way to run Sage on 10.11 except to either disable Apple's system integrity protection,

If switching to rpath starts up, it could be a great learning opportunity for those of us who want to ramp up on the Sage build system. It would be great if project wizards leave a trail for others to catch up & help with testing. I have done sage builds on Mac over the last couple years &
