In Sage versions 5.6, 5.7, and now in 5.8 too, installing the optional package cbc-2.7.5 doesn't work.
Some details: I always install sage from source on an intel 64 bit machine under Ubuntu. sage -i cbc-2.7.5 works fine. Doing sage -b afterwards yields: Building sage/numerical/backends/coin_backend.pyx because it depends on ../../local/include/coin/CbcStrategy.hpp. Executing 1 command (using 1 thread) cython --gdb --cplus --old-style-globals --embed-positions --directive cdivision=True,autotestdict=False,fast_getattr=True -I/home/mueller/local/sage-5.8/devel/sage-main -o sage/numerical/backends/coin_backend.cpp sage/numerical/backends/coin_backend.pyx Error compiling Cython file: ------------------------------------------------------------ ... cdef extern from "../../local/include/coin/CbcStrategy.hpp": cdef cppclass CbcStrategy: pass cdef cppclass CbcStrategyDefault(CbcStrategy): CbcStrategyDefault(int cutsOnlyAtRoot=?, int numberStrong = ?, int numberBeforeTrust = ?, int printLevel = ?) ^ ------------------------------------------------------------ sage/numerical/backends/coin_backend.pxd:29:46: Expected an identifier or literal Error running command, failed with status 256.
