One thing comes to mind. The download page (Harvard?) said something
about apt-getting gfortran before running SAGE. Well, that's a Debian
command, so I tried "yum install gfortran" but Fedora didn't find it.
I was hoping that gfortran was only needed when compiling from source,
not when running the binaries....
You need probably:
Name : gcc-gfortran

Name : libgfortran

Description: This package contains Fortran shared library which is

You also need the C and C++ libraries. It is not just the fortran libraries.
People probably get away without having them, as they will have gcc installed,
which includes those libraries. This is risky if their gcc version is older.
I installed
http://t2nb.math.washington.edu:8000/
as a 'zone' in Solaris. The default zone is to include only the bare minium of
the operating system. I have purposely not installed gcc in the zone.
As soon as Sage starts, it will fail due to the lack of C/C++ libraries.
I included the C, C++ and Fortran libraries in the binary I put on 't2' at
/usr/local/sage-4.3.0.1-Solaris-10-SPARC-sun4u-or-sun4v/sage
Using LZMA compression, the binary is only 300 MB. The libraries don't add a lot
overall to Sage, but should make it more reliable, especially if someone is not
running the latest versions of everything.
