Hello Dan thanks for this. I suppose "dependency" isn't quite the right word here.
The error message below is cut-and-pasted from the output of 'make'; at one point it asks me to email sage-devel, but perhaps this list is better for now! best wishes Robin Host system uname -a: Linux le112 2.6.34-12-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2010-06-29 02:39:08 +0200 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux **************************************************** **************************************************** CC Version gcc -v Using built-in specs.
