IIRC, there once was an isue with a Sage PPC version built on a Mac with a PPC G5 CPU, and the optimizations performed prevented Sage to run on G3/G4 Macs. > Regards, > Lukas Cheers, gsw --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
