Interesting idea: we could probably replace the fortran.spkg by a gcc.spkg and have it compile gcc, gfortran on systems where this is needed. The size of the gcc spkg would roughly be the same as the current fortran spkg. On bsd, I compiled gfortran-4.4.6 from source, compiled the Sage LAPACK wit

Ah, my bad. I misinterpreted the original intent as "requiring" GCC as part of building Sage from source. Carry on. :) --Christopher On Thu, Jan 26, 2012 at 15:57, William Stein wrote: > On Thu, Jan 26, 2012 at 12:52 PM, Christopher Swenson > wrote: > > -1 for distributing our own version o

Hi, Earlier today I was arguing that we need to support Xcode 4.x, etc., in the context of the PARI bugs. I'm sitting here with a grad student with a solid Mac running OS X 10.6.8, and trying to get XCode 3.x on it is HELL. None of our Apple ID's work for the Developer network, etc. We can't fin
