sage 4.3.0.1-solaris

I'trying to install sage on a Solaris machine and get the following
prevital@gauss /share/sage-4.3.0.1-Solaris-10-SPARC-sun4u-or-sun4v $./sage

I've no idea why this is happening, although I was the one who created that
SPARC binary. I've moved it around on different systems, with different install
paths and not had a problem.
The documentation which says the latest version to build on Solaris is 4.3.0.1
is outdated (my fault). 4.3.4 does fully build on Solaris, and passes all the
tests - something that 4.3.0.1 never did.
I've just started to create a .lzma format file at:
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/sage-4.3.4-Solaris-sun4u-SunOS.tar.lzma
At the time of writing, this is not completed - lzma is a slow compression
method. But I would expect it would be done in another half hour or so.
Once the modification time of the file is some time in the past, I suggest you
download that. I'm not sure if the extension .lzma can be decompressed with the
'7za / p7zip' program on Solaris. You might find if you rename the .lzma to .7z
it will work. (If not, you will need to build the lzma program to decompress
it). I would have created it on a Sun SPARC using 'p7zip', but the Sun SPARC at
the University of Washington is ill suited for Sage developement and will take
hours to compress that file. So I moved it to a Linux box and used lzma
compression. I think the compression methods are the same.
If all else fails, you can download a tar file:
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/sage-4.3.4-Solaris-sun4u-SunOS.tar
but at 1.6 GB, it is much larger than the .lzma format file will be, which will
be around 300 MB once it is compressed.

That has finished. I suggest you download that, but build the lzma decompression
program to decompress it. It will probably take you far less time to build the
decompression program than it will to download a .bz2 file, which would be 200
/MB larger (.bz2 is around 500 MB
I've started to compress it with p7zip on a Sun SPARC. You will find the file in
this directory:
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/Solaris-binaries/
but I suspect that will take hours to compress. Once that is done, you can
download that and just use p7zip on Solaris to decompress it.
Let us know how you get on.
That binary was created on a sun4u machine and has been run on sun4v too and
passes all the self-tests.
