[with patch, positive review] pari 2.3.3.p0 problem on 't2' but not my home machine (similar setups!!)

[drkirkby]

Well, is is a bit of an odd one.

I built gcc 4.4.0 to use the Sun linker & assembler on my home machine (Sun Blade 2000, Solaris 10 update 6) and it built 61 packages without issue (see list at the bottom).

On 't2', I only get 6 built

dir-0.1
prereq-0.3
bzip2-1.0.5
sage_scripts-4.1.alpha2
conway_polynomials-0.2
mpir-1.2.p4
termcap-1.3.1.p0
readline-5.2.p6

before pari is generating more than 94,000 error messages!

Just for the record, on my home machine, which uses a later version of Solaris 10, but identical versions of Sage and gcc, I got this many packages installed before problems.

Anyway, this is an issue which appears to be unique to t2, so will not to be resolved.

[drkirkby]

I should have stated, this is with sage-4.1.alpha2

[drkirkby]

This has now been resolved, thanks to Marc Glisse's help after I posted the query to comp.unix.solaris. The PARI code was missing the gcc compiler flag -fPIC. Why PARI built on my own Blade 2000 but not on the 16-core T5240 (t2.math.washington.edu) is not clear to me.

Here's a patch, which adds -fPIC to one of the files used to generate the Makefile that PARI uses.

 http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/Solaris-fixes/pari/

Basically all my patch does is to add this to the top of spkg-install, which adds -fPIC

# As of PARI 2.3.3, the compiler flag -fPIC is not added on Solaris, but it needs to be. It basically adds:
if [ `uname` = "SunOS" ]; then
  sed 's/-fomit-frame-pointer/-fomit-frame-pointer -fPIC/g' src/config/get_cc > src/config/get_cc.$$
  mv src/config/get_cc.$$ src/config/get_cc
fi

and remove that below

# PARI doesn't set PIC correctly on Solaris, so we do this.
  if [ `uname` = "SunOS" ]; then
   CFLAGS=$CFLAGS" -fPIC"
   export CFLAGS
fi

since the latter code was not working, despite it's obvious attempts to add -fPIC

It was noted by Minh Nguyen that there were a couple of junk files (spkg-install.orig & spkg-install.patch). These have now been removed.

The package can be found at

 http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/Solaris-fixes/pari/pari-2.3.3.p1.spkg

Could someone add that with hg for me, as I don't yet know how to use it (sorry).

I meaningful comment would be "Adds -fPIC to allow building on Solaris. Removes a previous unsuccessful attempt at adding -fPIC"

I've committed the changes in your name. I also did some minor formatting and fixed some typos. The new spkg is up at  http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mvngu/patch/pari-2.3.3.p1.spkg Wow! The new spkg with your changes successfully builds on t2 and sage.math. All tests passed on sage.math. Thanks, David!

[drkirkby]

Thank you too. The changes were limited to Solaris, so should have no effect on another platform.

Just to let people know, this has been merged in sage-4.1.1-alpha0. I can't close this ticket because I don't have the privilege to do so. Sorry, folks :-(
