[sage-support] how to enable plotting in R

2010-12-29 Thread emil

The main problem is that Puppy Linux or whatever must have compiled Sage without the right headers available. It's entirely mysterious to us exactly why R requires certain developer tools installed to give you X11. But it doesn't, and so in the spkg-install we check for as many of these things

Hi Volker and lists, I compiled Sage from v4.6's tar ball, and I had no trouble with this issue. So the problem seems, as you said, a mismatch of the environment on which Sage-binary is built and is ran. Thank you for your advice. BTW, in this brand new binary, I had {{{ sage:

Note that your command is equivalent to timeit('identity_matrix(1009).det()') Things could of course always be faster; Though the different algorithms for determinants of integral matrices seems to be similarly fast. The only thing thats really a lot faster is computing with floating point

I am trying to choose whether to use Sage a Ubuntu machine or a Mac running Leopard on a 64 bit Duo 2 Core processor. As I understand it, Sage started in the Linux world and still can't run well under Windows with out using virtualization. I am new to Macs but I thought the Mac OS was more similar
