Dear All, I just tried making a symlink to sage and it broke because it defaults to using $0 to work out where SAGE_DIR is. I'd like to propose a small change that allows symlinks to be used: --- THE FILE: is the shell script called sage in the root of the install tree a

Paul Zimmermann commented to me that he doubts qd has proofs of correctness associated with it, as mpfr does. The main advantage of qd is that it is a fixed precision package, which is faster than multiprecision but subject to overflow if not used correctly. If a port of mpfr were created to be

[sage-devel] Problematic symbolic link in sage directory
