I agree, that doesn't sound good. At the moment, I just want to check out the sandpile functionality, so I don't think I will wade in and try to improve glpk, or bug the author to do so. On the positive side, I think I now have packages that install correctly, at least on my own mac. They are

Thanks for pointing that out. I am somewhat disturbed by the positive review for that becoming a standard package, which seems inconsistent with previous policy. In #6663 I am merely suggesting 4ti2 and glpk as experimental packages, with the idea of transitioning them to optional, and then

Thanks for trying this Marshall. Unfortunately, your spkg, and the older experimental spkg, for 4ti2, both fail to install on my amd64 ubuntu 9.04 machine. I have N Cohen's version of the glpk spkg installed. On Fri, Jul 31, 2009 at 12:18 PM, Marshall Hamptonhampto...@gmail.com wrote: OK,
