Hi, First off, indeed, I do run a OSX 10.5 PPC system, and Sage does build correctly from source just fine. I've had weird build issues over time with fink installed ... I got rid of fink when I upgraded to 10.5, so I don't know if any remain. Just post to sage-support if you run into anything weird trying to build, and I'll try to help out.

(Also, my ISP leaves something to be desired.) Here's my vote: given that the 10.4 binary seems to work just fine, I'd say we should continue just building the 10.4 binary until someone says that it doesn't work on 10.5. Hopefully, by that point, I'll have a new laptop, and then I can just donate this one to the Sage build farm ... -cc --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
