Is running the scipy .6 and python 2.5 under sage in anyway inferior (beyond the version number) to the packages that are in my Linux distro? I have to use Centos 5 at work. V/R Scott

You'd be better off asking on a sage list, but I'd imagine not. If you get the right ones for your CPU, Sage binaries might even support some CPU features that CentOS binaries don't. David

I don't know if there are currently issues with centos, but you should compile sage from source. prerequesites are, i think, "gcc, g++, make, m4, perl, and ranlib" and besides time after "make" you don't need to do anything else. numeric libraries are then optimized for your cpu, you get an encapsulated package of libraries and they are tested to play well together... h
