The error above is unfortunately fatal -- it means that the libstdc++ that the SAGE binary was linked against is much newer than the one on a Redhat EL 4 system (which is fairly old -- but stable, actually). Your options include: (1) Download the file libstdc++.so.6 that I just posted at http://www.sagemath.org/SAGEbin/linux/64bit/ and put it in SAGE_ROOT/local/lib/ and try again. This might just easily fix the problem for you. (2) Wait until I somehow get a copy of RHEL, install it, and create a binary for it. (3) Build SAGE from source yourself (this is usually very easy); you just download sage-2.8.2.tar from http://www.sagemath.org/dist/src extract the tarball, type "make", and wait about 2 hours. -- William Stein Associate Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://www.williamstein.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://sage.math.washington.edu/sage/ and http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
