As a suggestion, perhaps future ReadMe files can just say ... "These binaries are only for the OS X version that is indicated by the package .dmg name. They generally will not work on any other OS X version (unless explicitly stated otherwise)." Then, the readme is always relevant for any given package. It was actually my initial thought that -10.6 would only work on OS X 10.6, until I read the ReadMe and could also find no -10.5 binaries. So, this was a matter of an intersection of two events, one mistake in the ReadMe and one delay in the binary postings. I see in the meantime at least one reference to -10.5 binaries, so I'll soon be able to test the proper install. I'll report back with success or failure. -- JJW --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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 URL: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
