In my experience, it's not a working setup on OS X Lion: pari fails self-tests (and this also leads to failures in Sage doctests), gsl fails self-tests, and symmetrica also causes failures in Sage doctests. See also #12459. (See #11881 for the meta ticket for building on Lion.) I guess the answer to your question is yes, though: even with OS X 10.6 or earlier, the proposal is to build gcc. -- John -- 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
