Thanks for looking this up; you're no doubt right. I guess the original posted will absolutely have to build Sage from binary to get something that is 100% solid. Note that using the vmware image (as somebody suggested) won't help by the way, since it also has sse2, etc., as I just checked. It says: flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss nx lm constant_tsc up pni ds_cpl cx16 lahf_lm -- William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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 -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
