Revision history [back]

Thank you so much. Worked like a charm. In case someone else is looking for this information: I had to install the build-essential package in order for gcc to be able to locate stdio.h, and the zeromq package had to be installed BEFORE the pyzmq package, which makes sense of course. Also, I had Tornado installed already before. That did the trick, no problems whatsoever.

I tried to find the information you gave me on sagemath.org, but got lost on the page http://www.sagemath.org/download-packages.html . When I look at it now I see the sought-after link immediately of course. Also, I was confused by the links in the section Additional Packages on that page. These links bring you straight back to the same page. Shouldn't this section be removed?

When I have finished this job, I'll surely take a look at the Sage Debian Live system, and maybe provide some feedback. I would love to contribute something, but I'm afraid I'm not nearly knowledgeable enough to be useful. I just make use of AntiX, a less well known Debian Linux System, that takes care of all the subtleties involved in converting a running Linux system, with essentially any applications you care for, into a live USB key. My first try, last year, had Sage 6.2 without iPython, and a full Linux installation, with applications, also on approx. 3Gb.
