Just out of curiosity, what is the reason behind Solaris shipping with such an ancient compiler? I mean, GCC 3.4.3 was released short of 5 years ago, it is not maintained anymore by the original developers (I think), it has no Fortran > 77 support, poor compliance to C++ standard, etc. F. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
