I have just confirmed that mark and mark2 have identical Solaris installs.

Yep, gcc takes a long time to build. There is also a GCC-4.2.1 Sage spkg that Michael made nearly two years ago. It's in the Sage experimental package repo. I'll try that on t2 and see what happens: wst...@t2:~/t2/sage-4.0$ ./sage -i gcc-4.2.1 (I doubt it will work, but we'll see...) David, if you are interested at all in making a new Sage GCC spkg (for gcc-4.4.0), which works on Solaris (in addition to other OS's), that would be a greatly appreciated contribution you could make to the Sage project. You can get the gcc-4.2.1 spkg here, if you want to see how it is constructed: http://sagemath.org/packages/experimental/ William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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 -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
