Yep, it's not yet ready. >> I have indeed tried ./sage -i TOPCOM versus "-i topcom" and then also >> have tried putting the 0.17.7.tar.bz2 into the /upstream/ folder, but >> neither worked :( >> I have also tried " ./sage -f >> http://files.sagemath.org/spkg/upstream/topcom/topcom-0.17.7.tar.bz2" >> but also no luck. Nope, for Sage 7.2, you have to put the other file I linked to into the upstream/ folder (topcom-0.17.4.tar.bz2), then Sage won't try to download it (and hence not try to download the mirror list which fails for you because of network / internet issues as Jeroen also mentioned). (To get rid of the logs and temporary build directories of the failed attempts, you can do rm -rvf /home/sage/sage-7.2/logs/pkgs/{optional,topcom,TOPCOM}* rm -rvf /home/sage/sage-7.2/local/var/tmp/sage/build/{optional,topcom,TOPCOM}* first.) Afterwards run './sage -i topcom'. By the way, the newer 0.17.7 is not even for Sage 7.3, but some later 7.4.beta*. -leif >> >> I have included the full output the error when I do "sage -i topcom" if >> that helps? > > It seems that the error points to a problem with the internet connection... > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
