A short outlook:

People on OpenSuSE 10.2 should know the following:

[09:33] <Syzygy-> Hmph. I cannot get yast to tell me what the g77-
package is named. *grmbl*
[09:33] <mabshoff> Which SuSE release?
[09:34] <mabshoff> You should probably install gfortran
[09:34] <mabshoff> 10.3 no longer ships g77 or g95, but gfortran.
[09:34] <Syzygy-> OpenSuSE 10.2
[09:34] <Syzygy-> Right.
[09:35] <mabshoff> Really? There is a bug in that gcc that crashes
when compiling gen.c
[09:35] <mabshoff> Does Sage start and compute 2+2?
[09:35] <Syzygy-> Yes.
[09:35] <mabshoff> ok, but then you probably update via yast.
[09:35] <Syzygy-> gcc version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)
[09:36] <mabshoff> Thanks
[09:36] <mabshoff> Excellent, you just closed ticket #908.
[09:37] <Syzygy-> Hehe
[09:37] <Syzygy-> Happy to help. :)

You need to run yast to update to the latest gcc for 10.2 to make the
compilation issue go away.

That closes #908 for me, but William might still try to fix it,
nonetheless.

For the OSX 10.5 people: rc1 + the spkgs from 
http://sage.math.washington.edu/tmp/leopard/
+ SAGE_FORTRAN=`which gfortran` + an installed gfotran yields a
working build from source. In that case there are two doctest
failures:

sage -t  devel/sage-main/sage/libs/pari/gen.pyx
python(22824) malloc: *** mmap(size=4096000000) failed (error code=12)
*** error: can't allocate region
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

sage -t  devel/sage-main/sage/combinat/sfa.py
sh: line 1: 99646 Segmentation fault      /Users/mabshoff/
sage-2.8.11.rc1/local/bin/python
.doctest_sfa.py > .doctest/out 2> .doctest/err

A mysterious error (perphaps a memory error?) occurred, which may have
crashed doctest.

This one works with "-verbose" and "-gdb"

We have leads on both of them, but if you have a patch let us know.

The plan for rc2, due in about 12 hours are:

- #1057 apply and back out #1044?
- #389 by cwitty
- Leopard compatible spkgs
- to investigate:  patches by robert from the #557 thread.
- fix doctest failure introduced by #750 once people agree what is the
right result ;)

I am asleep for now, so cu you guys in IRC in about 8 hours.

Cheers,

Michael
