And compiling Sage from scratch isn't actually that hard: type "make" and wait a couple of hours. I've updated the description at https://sage.math.washington.edu:8091/hudson/view/ext-libs/job/sage-build/ to explain how to build a cython-devel sage locally as others have asked for this as well, in summary you apply the patch at http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/robertwb/hudson-sage/sage-4.8/devel/sage-main/.hg/patches/0.16 to the repo in $SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage-main/ , install https://sage.math.washington.edu:8091/hudson/view/ext-libs/job/sage-build/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/cython-devel.spkg by downloading it and running "sage -i cython-devel.spkg" and then do "sage -ba" to re-build all Cython files. sage -gdb and sage -t -gdb /path/to/file are useful to know as well. - Robert _______________________________________________ cython-devel mailing list cython-devel@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cython-devel
