I believe I have *finally* got the latest Sage (with some patches) to build on Solaris 10 (SPARC).

Feel free to see at

http://redstart.drkirkby.co.uk:8000/

I'd be interested if it works for others.

However, don't go out of your way to crash this, or use tons of RAM. I've not set up any security and the machine is an old Blade 1000 with only 2 GB RAM. It is my "garage heater". As such, it is not going to do any memory intensive computations without grinding to a halt.

But I'd like to know if it works

Changes needed were:

 * Adding iconv so R has the prequesites it needs
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/8191

 * Fixing R so it actually builds.
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/8285

* Fix python so "Implement 2-isogeny descent over QQ natively in Sage using ratpoints" does not stop the Sage library building.
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/7867
(I need to add the python patches to that ticket)

* Fixing pyprocessing so it builds on Solaris (the changes to Python initially stopped it, but that was solved)
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/8371
(Again, I need to add the pyprocessing patches)

 * Removing a pointless, but broken check for mpir in cddlib
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/8363
