Optional packages that fail to install on Solaris 10 (SPARC) on sage-4.3.4.alpha1

[bac7d3ea-3f1b-4826-8464-f0b53d5e12d2]

Sage version 4.3.4.alpha1 is the first release to actually build and pass all doc tests (including long ones) on Solaris 10 (SPARC).

A list is given of the successes and failures when trying to install the optional packages. The system used was:

Hardware & associated software

• Sun Blade 1000

• 2 x 900 MHz UltraSPARC III+ CPUs

• 2 GB RAM

• Solaris 10 03/2005 (first release of Solaris 10)

• gcc 4.4.3 (uses Sun linker and assembler)

  == Sage version ==

• 4.3.4.alpha1

• Patch #8509 removing the -o option to grep to allow optional packages to install.

  == Optional packages which fail to install == Here is a list of the optional packages which fail to install. Hopefully this list can be reduced over time.

• ace-5.0.p0 #8531

• extra_docs-20070208 #8518

• ginv-1.9-20080723 #8516

• gmpy-1.0.1 ##8517

• graphviz-2.16.1.p0 #7438

• libcocoa-0.9930 #8521 (see also #8527)

• mpi4py-1.1.0 #8532

• valgrind (this will never install, as it is x86 only)

  == Optional packages that build successfully ==

• biopython-1.53.p0

• cbc-2.3.p1

• cunningham_tables-1.0

• database_cremona_ellcurve-20071019.p0

• database_jones_numfield-v4

• database_kohel-20060803

• database_odlyzko_zeta

• database_sloane_oeis-2005-12

• glpk-4.38.p4

• gnuplotpy-1.8

• guppy-0.1.8

• java3d-20070901

• jsmath-image-fonts-1.4.p3

• kash3-2008-07-31

• knoboo-20080411

• lie-2.2.2.p3

• lrs-4.2b.p1

• mpc-0.5.p0

Removing fixed ones, and also

• frobby-0.7.6 #8515 because it is now an experimental spkg. Updating #8515 accordingly.
