Interestingly, pari is built before ntl so it worked on your sparc but not on your x86 machine. It seems it is a quality issue with how pari build shared libs - on linux we get a warning and a performance hit - you get a failure: rm -f libpari-gmp.so.2.3.3 gcc -o libpari-gmp.so.2.3.3 -shared -O3 -Wall -fno-strict-aliasing -fomit-frame-pointer -Wl,-shared,-soname=libpari-gmp.so.2 mp.o mpinl.o Flx.o Qfb.o RgX.o alglin1.o alglin2.o arith1.o arith2.o base1.o base2.o base3.o base4.o base5.o bibli1.o bibli2.o buch1.o buch2.o buch3.o buch4.o galconj.o gen1.o gen2.o gen3.o ifactor1.o perm.o polarit1.o polarit2.o polarit3.o rootpol.o subcyclo.o subgroup.o trans1.o trans2.o trans3.o anal.o compat.o default.o errmsg.o es.o init.o intnum.o members.o sumiter.o aprcl.o elldata.o elliptic.o galois.o groupid.o kummer.o mpqs.o nffactor.o part.o stark.o subfield.o thue.o -lc -ldl -lm -L/home/francois/Work/SAGE/local/lib -lgmp /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.4/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: warning: creating a DT_TEXTREL in object. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is bad in any case! You shouldn't have DT_TEXTREL it is a sign that some of the object files haven't been compiled with the proper PIC flag. In pari's case that's all of them. I just checked.
