[sage-support] Span of Matrices

2014-04-04 Thread pong
I want to form the span of a finite sequence of matrices (in the matrix space). I tried: M = MatrixSpace(QQ,4) span([M(range(16)), M(range(2,18))]) But sage returns: TypeError: The base_ring (= [ 2 3 4 5] [ 6 7 8 9] [10 11 12 13] [14 15 16 17]) must be a principal ideal domain. What

AFAIK you can only build Sage on Solaris with the sun linker and sun as. If somebody were to volunteer a Solaris x86 buildbot slave then we'd be able to test that platform regularly *hint* ;-) > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.

I would be interested in knowing if anyone has successfully built Sage on Solaris 10 (intel and/or sparc); due to timelines I've decided to go with another math package until I can clearly see stability across Solaris, Linux and Mac OSX; I am still testing with a select group of undergrad stude

I meant to say that I have a presentation for it, though not the one I want. However, I think I sort of understand how to do this. Namely, I can add a generator, say x, to the given presentation of G, and add the relation x^-1*(...), where "(...)" is what I want the generator to be in terms of
