2009-08-03 Thread Dr. David Kirkby
I need some guidance on what do about some issues we have. I'll summarise, since not everyone is going to be aware of them. 1) Sage will not build on Solaris SPARC due to issues in the latest official ecl. (It is not the only issue, but is one of them). 2) The ecl developers have solved that,

[sage-devel] Patches for building Maxima with ECL
