This is a followup on that noclobber email I forwarded earlier...
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Rob Gross <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Dec 26, 2007 5:23 PM Subject: Re: "noclobber" problem To: William Stein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi, I found out that I had the line "set noclobber" in both my .bashrc and .bash_profile files. Removing that cleared up the problem. I have no clue why I ever put added the line in the first place, nor why it would have caused a problem.--Rob > Hi, William, > > I have had trouble getting the most recent versions of sage to > compile.
