Hi,
There are a few very serious (but easy to fix)
problems with the current sage and upcoming packages
that involving hardcoding of paths. These
will cause problems if you move a sage install.
POLYBORI:
I noticed this in a SAGE_ROOT/local/bin/:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 was was 47 Dec 4 10:52 ipbori ->
/Users/was/s/local/share/polybori/ipbori/ipbori
That link *must* not be hard coded. Make sure this gets fixed before
polybori is in sage.
SINGULAR (very serious):
Several Singular-related files in SAGE_ROOT/local/bin/ have hardcoded paths.
This makes it so singular will fail to work for everybody who
downloads a sage
binary right now :-(.
The package singular-3-0-4-1-20071209.spkg fixes the problem. Just do
sage -upgrade to get it, or download it from
http://sagemath.org/packages/standard/singular-3-0-4-1-20071209.spkg
BZIP2:
Some minor path hardcoding problems. Easy to fix. I've put the
file that needs
to be replaced here:
I've attached the file to fix this here:
