I have plans for mpir to get around that, but that will be a while. One thing I have done is to combine say x86 and ppc binaries/libraries via lipo, but I see little demand since that does increase the size of the binary by a large factor and it also breaks if you develop with the wrong arch. So while it might be convenient to deploy in certain situations I haven pushed it too hard since it breaks development. Since every copy of Sage should be able to develop I never considered proving such universal binaries this a high priority. > > -- william Cheers, Michael > > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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 -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
