I have built Sage successfully on Debian 6.0.0 through 6.0.3 on AMD, both in virtual machines (VirtualBox under Windows Vista with 1 Gig memory) and physical. The most recent change to the Atlas package that allows me to specify architecture=fast has speeded things up considerably, i.e. it takes a reasonable set of tuning parameters and builds relatively quickly instead of striving for perfection and taking 3, 4 or 5 times as long and then failing due to what it perceives as an unstable system (unpredictable performance).
As a newbie I have followed ALL the instructions in the installation document to the letter, so I have not had to chase down obsolete compilers, libraries, or anything like that. A minor tip on the install/build manual, before you actually type "make" DO read on through the section on environment variables and set those, then come back and type "make", take a break, find other things to do for n hours, etc. On Nov 11, 3:59 pm, frosty <jfoster81...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have just discovered Sage & want to know if there are any folks here > working on making a Debian version that would work without having to > compile all the parts. i.e. use the needed files, apps & libraries > that are already packaged in Debian. > Secondly I have downloaded the binary for Linux and have it installed > & runnimng: I want to actually compile Sage for my server which is an > AMD 6 core based server with 8Gb of ram running Debian stable.
