I can't see a lot of point running Linux on SPARC. OK, it might install and run, but it has had nowhere near the amount of testing as Solaris does, which is a very stable operating system - far more so that Linux in most cases. Linux on SPARC will get very little testing. > I'll also give a shot on Solaris 10 / sparc64, but the gcc I have there is > old and MPIR complains... Sage has a gcc package which the gcc 3.4.3 did build last time I tried it - 6 months or so ago. My SPARC is on now doing some data collection from a vector network analyzer. I could try building the latest Sage and let you know how it gets on. I'd certainly try Sage 32-bit on Solaris before attempting 64-bit. Last time I tried there was a problem with Pynac loading things it should not, and this made it impossible to build a stabe Sage on 64-bit SPARC. I think it is possible to compute 1+1, but not al alful lot else. I'll download the latest Sage and give it a try. I don't have the latest Solaris on my SPARC - it Solaris 10 3/05, so about 8 years old. But given the excellent backwards compatibility of Solaris, if Sage builds on the 2005 realease it should build on the 2013 release.
