Solution: use 2.39 binary until issue is solved * cvxopt doesn't work (complex.h missing) * 2-3 patches are needed to sage.spkg - easy fixes, need to be merged upstream * 2.8.3: * worked reasonably well after workarounds, about 10-12 doctest failures * work arounds needed: clisp, lcalc * missing/failed spkgs: cvxopt * pre 2.8: * various people (David Kirby) worked on this, but I am not sure if Sage ever passed 100% of doctests |
Sage 4.3 or later should build and run on any SPARC hardware which runs Solaris 10. Sage has been built on several Solaris 10 SPARC systems, ranging from old machines to current models and from the first release of Solaris 10 (03/2005 edition) to the latest (05/2009 edition). So Sage should build on your Solaris 10 SPARC machine. Specific hardware/software combinations on which Sage has been built are |

Running Sage on Sun's Solaris operating system.
This page, which is primarily maintained by David Kirkby, describes the current status of Sage on the various versions (Solaris 10 and Open Solaris) and on various hardware (SPARC and x86).

Solaris 10 on SPARC hardware.
Sage 4.3 or later should build and run on any SPARC hardware which runs Solaris 10. Sage has been built on several Solaris 10 SPARC systems, ranging from old machines to current models and from the first release of Solaris 10 (03/2005 edition) to the latest (05/2009 edition). So Sage should build on your Solaris 10 SPARC machine. Specific hardware/software combinations on which Sage has been built are
Sun T5240 CoolThreads server with:
- 2 x 1167 MHz T2+ Coolthreads processors
- 16 cores
- 128 threads
- 32 GB RAM
- Solaris 10 update 6 (05/2009 edition).
- A Sun Blade 2000 workstation with:
- 2 x 1200 MHz UltraSPARC III+ processors.
- 8 GB RAM
- Solaris 10 update 7 (05/2009 release) which at the time of writing (December 2009) is the latest release of Solaris 10.
- Sun Netra T1 server with:
- 1 x 500 MHz UltraSPARC-IIe processor
- 1536 MB RAM
- Solaris 10 03/2005 (the very first Solaris 10 release).

How to build Sage on Solaris 10 with SPARC hardware
As stated above, this should work, but the process is not as simple as one might like it to be.
