Let me know if that doesn't work.
I should have it done some time tonight -- the system in question is syncing up at the moment and I want to time the build on an otherwise idle box. I'm going to do the entire build with 4.1.2 rather than just linbox, though. I don't want to risk mixing them and the switchover is a bit tricky. > There is alsohttp://sagemath.org/SAGEbin/linux/64bit/ > however that binary is not built against ATLAS, whereas if > you have ATLAS on your system and build SAGE from source > you'll get a SAGE that is faster at linear algebra. Yeah ... I have ATLAS ... *threaded* ATLAS, of course. :) I had a bit of trouble with the first couple of Sage builds I did finding the ATLAS cblas in the configure step, since Gentoo puts them in a non- standard place, but I got that working yesterday. > On a daily basis I use: > > * OS X > * Ubuntu Linux > * Debian Linux Well ... I don't want to get involved in the Ubuntu vs. Debian flamewars, but I personally have had enough bad experiences with Ubuntu that I won't touch it any more -- Etch/Lenny are IMHO second only to Gentoo as the distro of choice for scientific workstations. > I regularly build SAGE on OS X intel and powerpc, Ubuntu 32-bit, > Debian 32 and 64-bit, Mandriva, Fedora, and SUSE. Fedora 7 is pretty good -- I've seriously considered converting one of my systems to it. Just out of curiosity, why is there not a Fedora 7 64-bit SAGE build? > And if you're curious, I also regularly use both vim and > emacs, and all three of Firefox, Safari and Opera. Firefox is like the GPL -- I use it only when forced to do so. :) I run Seamonkey on all of my Linux boxes and only IE7 on all my Windows boxes. I tried Opera a couple of times but couldn't get used to the UI. I don't own a Mac, although when my laptop finally dies, in all likelihood its successor will be a Mac. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
