Hi, I just verified that my home Mac desktop is 10.6.1 (and current for all Mac updates). I need to kill all of my jobs to update my office machine, so I deferred this step at work. However this is not the source of the problem.
Instead it seems that the problem is due to running MacOSX in 64-bit mode. According to the application 32- or 64-bit Kernel Startup Mode Selector, 64-bit mode is not supported by my laptop, whereas I set the two desktops to 64-bit mode. In the singular configure file, I find: liki10:/usr/local/sage-4.2/spkg/build/singular-3-1-0-4-20090818.p1/src $ ./configure loading cache ./config.cache checking uname for singular... unknown configure: error: Unknown architecture: Check singuname.sh Running singuname.sh I find: liki10:/usr/local/sage-4.2/spkg/build/singular-3-1-0-4-20090818.p1/src $ ./singuname.sh x86_64-Unknown On my 32-bit mode laptop it reports "ix86Mac-darwin". So it seems that the singuname.sh file is not able to correctly parse the output of `uname - a` in 64-bit mode: Darwin liki10 10.0.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.0.0: Fri Jul 31 22:46:25 PDT 2009; root:xnu-1456.1.25~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64 Compare this to the 32-bit output: Darwin iml26 10.0.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.0.0: Fri Jul 31 22:47:34 PDT 2009; root:xnu-1456.1.25~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 So I think it should be easy to patch singuname.sh to get past the configure error. --David --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
