William, Thanks I was able to compile sage 3.4.1 on my XP machine starting from sage-vmware-sse2-3.4.1, which had failed work from the binary, by following your directions.
For people that might know even less about linux than me the steps I took were: At the login type: login The Passward is: sage then type: sudo su 1. Just delete /usr/local/sage, then cd /usr/local; rm -rf sage 2. download sage-3.4.1.tar by typing wget http://sagemath.org/src/sage-3.4.1.tar 3. extract it, tar xvf sage-3.4.1.tar 4. move it to be /usr/local/sage, and mv sage-3.4.1 sage 5. type make. cd sage; make Thanks Mike On Apr 30, 2:34 pm, mabshoff <michael.absh...@mathematik.uni- dortmund.de> wrote: > On Apr 30, 10:53 am, William Stein <wst...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > On Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 10:43 AM, Iwan Lappo-Danilewski > > > <ivanjazz...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > Have to report a similar problem on ubuntu 9.04.. > > > While version 3.2.3 is running as fine as the "sagemath" ubuntu > > > package (3.0.5) the newest version won't start telling me > > > What is the output of cat /proc/cpuinfo on your computer? > > Well, I am not sure if gdb is installed in the VMWare image (it ought > to be trivially installable into a real Linux install), but the > following would be helpful to determine which instruction causes the > problem. > > Start sage via gdb, i.e. > > ./sage -gdb > > Tell it to run, i.e. press "r".
