Once we have gmp 4.2.2 working at all, the gcd patch should be straightforward. The patch itself probably won't work as is, but it shouldn't be hard to figure out what to change. I would recommend that whoever works on getting 4.2.2 up and running first disables the gcd patch (that's commenting out one line in the install script), and once 4.2.2 is working on all platforms, then we can put the gcd back in. david --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
