John: concerning your laptop failure and the "clang" fix: the problem might also be one of the *dependencies* of GCC: mpir, mpfr or mpc. So could you try to build Sage with clang, remove GCC and then build GCC with gcc:
(after downloading and extracting the source) $ CC=clang make [... hours pass ...] $ rm local/bin/gcc local/bin/g++ spkg/standard/gcc-4.6.2.spkg $ ./sage -f http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/jdemeyer/spkg/gcc-4.6.2.spkg -- 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
