It looks like GiNaC developers have changed configure.ac since pynac
was forked:

http://www.ginac.de/ginac.git?p=ginac.git;a=blob;f=configure.ac;h=9992133f5c603b2679de92ca47a02a1a8d019dd8;hb=HEAD

If we merge the patch which introduced this change, would it solve this
problem? I don't have time to delve into this right now.

Can you open a ticket [1] or better, submit a pull a pull request on
bitbucket?

Thank you.

It works for me, even when I disable sending referrer to hg.pynac.org
URLs. Can you try the bitbucket interface directly?

Thanks.

You're probably hitting this:

https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issue/7751/anonymous-issue-posting-broken-bb-8916

One workaround would be to get a bitbucket account (and vote for the
issue). I can open the ticket otherwise.

This release was held up for too long since I was busy with real life.
I think we should try to get it out the door ASAP. AFAIK, Eviatar
already has an spkg on Sage #15198.

If you have a patch, we can follow up with a quick 0.3.2. There are a
few loose ends I want to cover as well.


BTW, I should mention that Eviatar Bach is handling this release. He
has recently completed a very successful Google Summer of Code project
on special functions in Sage and agreed to roll this Pynac release
since it includes a couple of changes holding up his work. I'm
hoping he will continue to help out in the future... :)


Many thanks to Eviatar for his work on symbolics in Sage and Pynac.


Cheers,
Burcin
