yesterday i tried to install sage 2.6 on a friend's machine running debian 4.0R0 for powerpc. there does not appear to be a binary, so i grabbed the source and started building. i figured it would take a few hours.
i don't know if sage 2.6 is building correctly and just looks like it's not, or if it's in an infinite loop. for one thing it seems to be spending all its time in configuring rather than compiling, and for another thing it seems to be doing the same thing over and over again, as far as i can tell from the output. and it is taking way longer than i expected (overnight and still going). here's an output snippet. (the numbers # in "make[#]" are lower than they should be because i interrupted the build and then restarted it. they were in the mid 500s.) make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/local/sage-2.6/spkg/build/python-2.5.1.p3/src' make[3]: Warning: File `configure' has modification time 2.2e+06 s in the future /bin/sh ./configure '--prefix=/usr/local/sage-2.6/local' 'CC=gcc' 'LDFLAGS=' checking MACHDEP... linux2 ...
