Willam, The day after I had done a successful install from source of 2.8.15 on my laptop (which is running kubuntu 7.10) the 2.9 release was announced. OK, first I tried sage -upgrade, but after a LONG run that failed with several error messages that regretfully I didn't capture. I then downloaded the source for 2.9 and after removing the remnants of the failed upgrade I tried the untar & make process. After another longish session the process aborted abruptly by shutting down the PC?! I thought I might have had a bad download so I tried again from another PC, transfeerred the tar to the laptop & tried again - same result.
I don't have a spot to post the full install log, but the last few lines, and the result if I attempt to start SAGE from what was built, is this: Last view lines of install.log ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ make dmmcase0 pre=d ta=T tb=N muladd=1 lat=1 loopO=JIK M=52 N=52 K=52 mb=52 nb=5 2 kb=52 mu=4 nu=1 ku=52 lda=52 ldb=52 ldc=0 lda2=52 ldb2=52 ldc2=0 pfA=0 csA=1 c sB=1 csC=1 alpha=1 beta=1 moves="" cleanup=1 mmrout="dmm0.c" SMC="gcc" SMCFLAGS= "-fomit-frame-pointer -mfpmath=387 -O2 -falign-loops=4 -fPIC -m32" DMC="gcc" DMC FLAGS="-fomit-frame-pointer -mfpmath=387 -O2 -falign-loops=4 -fPIC - m32" casnam= res/dJIKmmTN52_52x52x52_52x52x0_4x1x52_a1_b1_1x1_1_IC make[7]: Entering directory `/home/davedo/sage-2.9/spkg/build/atlas-3.8.p6/ATLAS -build/tune/blas/gemm' rm -f dfc.o dmm.o gcc -DL2SIZE=4194304 -I/home/davedo/sage-2.9/spkg/build/atlas-3.8.p6/ATLAS-build /include -I/home/davedo/sage-2.9/spkg/build/atlas-3.8.p6/ATLAS-build/../src/ ATLA S//include -I/home/davedo/sage-2.9/spkg/build/atlas-3.8.p6/ATLAS-build/../src/AT S//include -I/home/davedo/sage-2.9/spkg/build/atlas-3.8.p6/ATLAS-build/../src/AT LAS//include/contrib -DAdd__ -DF77_INTEGER=int -DStringSunStyle -DATL_OS_Linux - DATL_ARCH_HAMMER -DATL_CPUMHZ=2000 -DATL_SSE2 -DATL_SSE1 -DATL_3DNow -DATL_GAS_x 8632 -fomit-frame-pointer -mfpmath=387 -O2 -falign-loops=4 -fPIC - m32 -DdREAL - DtranAT -DtranBN \ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Error msg upon starting SAGE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/sage-2.9$ sage ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | SAGE Version 2.9, Release Date: 2007-12-16 | | Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/davedo/sage-2.9/local/bin/sage-ipython", line 10, in <module> import IPython ImportError: No module named IPython ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
