I'm using Lion as well. I installed the command line tools package from Apple and have had no problems building sage-5+. No idea about Mountain Lion, compatibility probably depends more on what Apple does with their dev tools from here. But the gcc package seems to solve these problems for now. Just think how fast you'll be able to build sage! -- Benjamin Jones -- 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
