problem installing 4ti2 Fedora 12 64bit

[davidp]

I am trying to install 4ti2 with the command

sage -i 4ti2.p0

on my desktop running Fedora 2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12.x86_64. Here is
the resulting error message:

explaining the problem and send the relevant part of

-----------------------------------

When I first issued the command to install 4ti2, I received an error
message indicating that I needed to install glpk. So I issued the
command "sage -i glpk-4.9", which went fine. Besides the above
problem, perhaps glpk should be loaded automatically, if necessary, as
part of the installation of 4ti2.

Try rebuilding mpir, then try installing 4ti2.p0 again.

sage -f mpir-1.2.2.p0

Excellent. This worked, both on my laptop and on my desktop.

Thank you.

I haven't seen it matter with 4ti2 or your sandpiles stuff, but there
is a much more recent glpk package, glpk-4.38.p4, which is probably
better to use.

General question: is there any reason that the experimental glpk-4.9
spkg still exists at all? If not it should be removed.
