As of this writing (13th September 2010). it is possible to build a 64-bit version of Sage on SPARC systems. which is able to do some computations, but the resulting build is very unstable. The instability is at leasat in part due to the problems described above for 'fulvia', in that some of the libraries have text relocations. |

This doesn't mean there is a bug in GMP, it probably just means that on this architecture FLINT is setting something up incorrectly before using longlong.h. It shouldn't take too much to sort out. I mean the function that is causing all the problems is only 20 lines of code and all pretty basic. }}} Update from Bill Hart: There will be a FLINT 1.0.11 in a couple hours (i.e. July 9th, 2008) == menas: x86_64-Linux-suse (status: 10/10) == UPDATE: trac #3628 -- http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/3628 completely resolves this with no special spkg needed. ----------------------------------------------- With gcc-4.2.1 and reverting to the old version of clisp all tests pass for sage-4.3.1.rc0: {{{ sage -i clisp-2.41.p14.spkg sage -f maxima-5.13.0.p2.spkg }}} Without reverting clisp, maxima hangs on certain integrals: {{{ integrate(1/(x^3 *(a+b*x)^(1/3)), x); }}} I think reverting clisp will be ok for this architecture and for this release since the only reason for the new version was build support on more architectures.

The testdoc failure is a pure timeout issue with a.wait(30), so safe to ignore -- everything else in that file passes fine. I think the twist.py issue also involves some sort of timeout. I am so tempted to redo the doctests for testdoc and twist or declare them undoctestable... but that is for later. |
Getting Sage to build and pass all tests on Skynet
It is very important to read
/usr/local/README.background_jobs
on the skynet machines, otherwise your builds will take a long time due to long-running CPU intensive tasks. That README file tells you how to stop those CPU intensive tasks.
Current tarballs are here:
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/release/
Current versions of Sage should build without problem on the skynet machines cicero, cleo, eno, flavius, fulvia, iras, lena, mark, mark2, sextus and taurus.
Here is information about the skynet machines. For the linux boxes, this was obtained using the script at http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/8048. For the Solaris 10 machines (fulvia, mark and mark2), it was obtained using the commands listed in the description.

export MAKE='make -j2' (or 'make -j3' or 'make -j4'?) export SAGE_PARALLEL_SPKG_BUILD=yes
If you want to try a 64-bit build, then in addition to the above, set
export SAGE64='yes' export SAGE_FORTRAN_LIB="/usr/local/gcc-4.5.1/x86_64-SunOS-core2-sun-ld/lib/amd64/libgfortran.so"
and continue as above. (The second setting replaces the earlier 32-bit setting.) As of this writing, the build will certainly fail when building R. You can bypass this by touching the file SAGE_ROOT/spkg/installed/r-2.10.1.p2 and then restarting the build. (This issue is being tracked at http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9040.) However, whilst it's possible to create a 64-bit version of Sage, it will fail to run properly, and will almost certainly crash either at startup, or whenever one tries to do something non-trivial. Some, and possibly all of the problems are caused by libraries having text relocations. These include

As of version 4.5.2.rc1, Sage should build on mark without trouble (although it takes a long time). For this to work, you need to set the following environment variables:
export PATH=/usr/local/gcc-4.5.1/sparc-SunOS-ultrasparc3-sun-as-ld/bin:$PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/gcc-4.5.1/sparc-SunOS-ultrasparc3-sun-as-ld/lib:/usr/local/gcc-4.5.1/sparc-SunOS-ultrasparc3-sun-as-ld/lib/sparcv9:/usr/local/flex-2.5.35/sparc-SunOS-ultrasparc3-gcc-4.4.3/lib export SAGE_FORTRAN=/usr/local/gcc-4.5.1/sparc-SunOS-ultrasparc3-sun-as-ld/bin/gfortran export SAGE_FORTRAN_LIB=/usr/local/gcc-4.5.1/sparc-SunOS-ultrasparc3-sun-as-ld/lib/libgfortran.so
If you want to try a 64-bit build, then in addition to the above, set
export SAGE64='yes' export SAGE_FORTRAN_LIB="/usr/local/gcc-4.5.1/sparc-SunOS-ultrasparc3-sun-as-ld/lib/sparcv9/libgfortran.so"
and continue as above. (The second setting replaces the earlier 32-bit setting.) As of this writing (13th September 2010). it is possible to build a 64-bit version of Sage on SPARC systems. which is able to do some computations, but the resulting build is very unstable. The instability is at leasat in part due to the problems described above for 'fulvia', in that some of the libraries have text relocations.

Some completely unreliable timings
Here is how long it took to build Sage 4.5.2.alpha1 (not including the documentation) on the various skynet machines. These were all built with SAGE_PARALLEL_SPKG_BUILD set to 'yes' and MAKE='make -jN', with N replaced by the number of cores on the machine in question.
