Hi Folks! Meanwhile I got a more detailed picture on the error.
- I tested several versions of Singular (3-0-4 and 3-1-0-beta) built by Sage on four different machines. In *all* cases the error occured. - I tested Singular 3-1-0-beta built by myself and Singular 3-1-0 (official release) built in Oberwolfach. The error does *not* occur. In order to avoid a misunderstanding that occured on the Singular mailing list: The error does not only occur when Singular is used for the first time after being built. It always occurs when calling > system("--version"); for the first time *in a session*. Start a new session, it will happen again. There is no problem when using the system command in a different way, e.g. > system("version"); (returns the version as a number). And apparently it only occurs if Singular is built by Sage. So, could it be Sage's fault, after all? Perhaps it was a big mistake to remove the file "Hannes-Sprueche" from the Singular sources... ;) Cheers, Simon --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
