That is a known error, as reported at ticket #6276 http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/6276 but in relation to Solaris. Compiling Sage from source consumes a lot of system resources. My guess is that the hardware of an OLPC-XO couldn't handle the job. But I may be wrong as someone has compiled Sage 3.2.3 on a cell phone before; see http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel/browse_thread/thread/243dfd4ab25a2779/3cc58c39cc9cadff ATLAS takes hours and hours to compile because it needs to tune itself to run efficiently for the hardware under consideration. At the moment, ATLAS doesn't compile on all systems that we would like it to. > I searched for 'OLPC-XO' in the Sage home page. I understand that the > XO can access sage through http://sagenb.org. Since we can boot the > XO in ubuntu, I think it would be nice to have sage compiled as well. You can also access sagenb.org from your iPhone, or a cell phone with Internet connection. -- Regards Minh Van Nguyen --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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 -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
