By the way, given that we don't make centos binaries, I *do* recommend you build from source. 1. Download the top listed tarball here: http://sagemath.org/dist/src 2. tar xvf sage-3.0.2.tar 3. cd sage-3.0.2 4. make 5. Wait 2 hours 6. Done. If it immediately fails that's because you need one of the prerequisite packages. There are very few: gcc, g++, make, m4, perl, and ranlib --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
