"If you are using arch sagemath, then you are not using sage-the-distro and so you are using arch giac as well."
This is good to know. I am new to using arch and was not sure. I am actually using EOS distro which is arch based, not arch itself. I just found the info I wanted is online: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/sagemath/ It has dependencies list there. One of them is giac. When I click on giac link it shows https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/giac/ which says giac 1.9.0.998-1 This way one can find the version number of any software sagemath package uses from pacman website. Ok, case closed. >From now on, I will just use Arch package manager to install sagemath and other software instead of building from sources as I used to do. Much easier this way.
