Hi all.

I'm trying to install fricas, but I'm having problems, can anyone help
me?  I searched the archives, but couldn't find anything that seemed
to apply.  Here's the relevant part of the log:

...

Please email sage-devel http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel
explaining the problem and send the relevant part of
of /usr/local/sage/install.log.  Describe your computer, operating
system, etc.

I have Sage 4.0.2 and was installing with the install_package
("fricas-1.0.3.p0") command from a Firefox session.  I'm running Sage
through VMWare Player in Windows XP on a small netbook.  I did have
problems initially installing Sage.  I had to rebuild from scratch
since apparently the processor in my netbook is out of date or
something, so I'm guessing that could be what's causing this problem.
I had no problems installing fricas on my desktop, which has the same
version of Sage.

For whatever it's worth, I am able to run Axiom using Portable_Ubuntu
as they describe on the Axiom website, but I'd much prefer to have it
available in Sage.

Oh, and if there's any technical stuff I need to do, I'd very much
appreciate it if you could describe the steps in painful detail, as
I'm not very good at all with Unix-type things.

Thanks very much.

Rob
