Good to know. Can you add the above steps to the FreeBSD port page in the wiki as a work around until all the fixes are merged? > The biggest problem i'm having now is the same as Petr Muzikar from an old > sage-newbie > post:http://groups.google.com/group/sage-newbie/browse_thread/thread/8bb27... > 1c08 > > Basically when trying to plot() from shell or notebook matplotlib throws an > integer literal error (trace at end of email).

That isn't so much a BSD issue, but the case when ATLAS mis-detects or doesn't know your CPU. > Would it be appropriate for me to start a freebsd wiki page on the trac? > Should I submit new tickets for compilation problems/patches/workarounds or > just glom on to #1638? Nope, that is a separate issue and just happens to hit us mostly on *BSD - it can also happen on Solaris for example. The rule in trac is that one ticket is only about on issue (Except META ticket, but that is a different story). I have fixes for all the FreeBSD issues and just need to merge them. My plan for the rest of the month of March is to get build fixes for Solaris, Linux PPC 64, Intel 10.5 64 bit, Cygwin and FreeBSD in the tree. > -bryan > <SNIP> I am not sure about the plotting issue, but I assume a natively compiled version will work.
