| * Only GCC >= 4.0.1 can be used to build Sage.

Sage builds on this, and can perform some calculations, but it is very unstable and crashes too often. === Solaris 10 on x86 hardware (32-bit) === Builds fine. === Open Solaris (also known as Solaris 11) on SPARC hardware === This has not been tested and will almost certainly not work. We are afraid to say nobody currently developing Sage uses Open Solaris on SPARC hardware. Given the number of users of Open Solaris on SPARC hardware is so small, it is doubtful much effort will be put into a port. But if others wish to submit patches, they can do. === Open Solaris (also known as Solaris 11) on x86 hardware === Sage has built fine since version 4.5.3.alpha 3. == How to build a 32-bit Sage on Solaris 10 with SPARC hardware == As stated above, this should work and Sage will pass all its self-tests.

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 of Solaris and on various hardware (SPARC and x86).
A Solaris server running a recent version of Sage 4.5.1 can be found at http://t2nb.math.washington.edu:8080/ That's a Sun T5240 kindly donated by Sun, but installed in a Solaris zone. As of 10th March 2011, the situation with Sage on Solaris is:
SPARC
- 32-bit SPARC. Works, and passes all tests.
64-bit SPARC. Builds fully, but very unstable, and not really usable yet.
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).
- A Sun Blade 1000 workstation with:
- 2 x 900 MHz UltraSPARC III+ processors.
- 2 GB RAM
- Solaris 10 03/2005 (the very first Solaris 10 release).

x86
32-bit OpenSolaris. Works, and passes all tests.
- 32-bit Solaris 11 Express. Works and pases all tests.
- 32-bit Solaris 10 on x86 . Works, and passes all tests.
64-bit OpenSolaris. Fails to build at all, since R, the statistics page (see http://www.r-project.org/) will not build with gcc.
Sage has been built on several x86 systems including.
- A Sun Ultra 27 running with:
- 3.33 GHz quad core Intel W3580 Xeon.
- 12 GB RAM
OpenSolaris 06/2009
- Solaris 11 Express on a Sony Vaio laptop with:
- Intel Core2 duo 2.0 GHz
- 2 GB RAM
