Moreover, I just tried and the full test suite passes too. Yeah! The only thing that is in the way of making 64-bit the standard for OS X Sage is: (1) auto-downloading the gfortran spkg or something (2) getting the above two spkg's positively reviewed and into Sage. Even the notebook works fine now, since we upgraded to python 2.6.x (this was a problem before). If you're an intel OS X user and you haven't got excited about 64-bit Sage, why not?!?! -- 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 -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
