I am on arch linux, and I found that arch pacman package manager has latest sagemath. So I do not have to build sagemath from source, which is much easier.
So I used pacman to install sagemath 10.5 , also used it to install giac. The issue is that, I do not know if sagemath is using its own builtin giac now or is it using the one I have also installed using pacman on same linux. Is there a way to find out the exact version of giac that sagemath is using? Is it using one builtin internally inside sagemath binary, or it is using the one I have on linux outside of sagemath? which sage /usr/bin/sage >sage --version SageMath version 10.5, Release Date: 2024-12-04 >sage ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ SageMath version 10.5, Release Date: 2024-12-04 │ │ Using Python 3.13.1.

I'd like to know if sagemath binary is using its own giac or is it using the system one, which is 1.9.0.998 Thanks --Nasser -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
