I can't see why not. I can't guarantee 5.1 would build, but certainly many previous versions of Sage built on non-desktop minimal installs of Ubuntu. > I imagine some standard packages having dependencies on various desktop > features, e.g. jmol... The jmol included in Sage is a pre-built binary. It is not built from source. To build it requires having the JDK, at least. -- William > > Dima > >> >> >> -- William >> >> >> -- >> William Stein >> Professor of Mathematics >> University of Washington >> http://wstein.org > > -- > -- > 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 > > > -- William Stein Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org -- -- 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
