I just checked, and Sage does run, but I'm having problems, and I'm not sure if it's just my own ignorance or not. If I run "./sage" and write "is_prime(2^32)" interpreter, it works. However, if I copy/paste a block of code from sagenb.org, the interpreter goes haywire. If I run "./sage filename," it loads the file and tries to interpret it, but I get errors like "global name 'is_prime' is not defined." Since I can't copy/paste my code into the local interpreter without problems, and I can't load it from a file, I'm kind of stuck manually typing it...which isn't exactly optimal.

Any idea why the Fedora build is something like 50% larger? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
