plantri installation always fails
Plantri is a program that generates certain types of graphs that are imbedded on the sphere. Since I need to use the plantri package in my research. I tried to install it in sagemath 9.3 in windows version.
sage: !sage -i plantri
But the installation process always reminds:
make build/make/Makefile --stop
make[3862]: Entering directory '/opt/sagemath-9.3'
make[3862]: *** [Makefile:37: bootstrap] Error 127
I don't know what the reason is.
I personally think that planri and nauty have different focuses, but they are equally good. So my suggestion is whether it is possible to have plantri built in like nauty in future versions. It's disappointing that the installation always fails.
I have not tried to install it on a windows machine. On macOS, the command
sage: !sage -i plantri
works well.Do you have the same error with other optional packages ? May be the issue is not be related to
plantri
but to the method used to install optional packages.There is no problem with the other packages. I installed
phitigra
just now in sage 9.3 which is a graph editor widget for SageMath when using the Jupyter notebook. It is well.phitigra
is a pip installable package written in Python for Sagemath. So it is easier to install than a package written in C and that must be compiled.
