update M2 to the 1.1 release about sage HOT 18 CLOSED

NOTE: If you just install readline-dev (for ubuntu say), then the M2 build works.

There is a new Macaulay 2 release coming in a week or two. It is likely that an experimental package will appear before that.

 This is on a minimal Ubuntu install without the system-wide readline-dev package.
 SAGE's M2 build script should use SAGE's readline, but it isn't.

There are too many problems at the moment, i.e. mostly that the configure script only picks up NTL from $SAGE_LOCAL, but not factory, libcf, BLAS & Lapack, so postpone this until 2.9.

Dear Macaulay 2 users,

We've released, as a test release, version 1.0.9test of M2.  Feel free to
download it from http://www.math.uiuc.edu/Macaulay2/Downloads/TestReleases/ and
try it out.  

We hope to release 1.1 within a week, based on this test.

The corresponding subversion (svn) URL is
svn://macaulay2.math.uiuc.edu/Macaulay2/release-branches/1.1, and after release
of 1.1 there will be "stable" URL corresponding to it.

This version fixes a recently detected bug (there since 0.9.95) in computations
with rings where the variables don't all have multi-degree vectors whose first
component is strictly positive.  Answers for total Ext (it computes Ext^n(M,N)
for all n at the same time) came out wrong, because it (necessarily) makes use
of such degree vectors.

This version also introduces good support for arbitrary precision real and
complex numbers.

Bump. What is the status of the 1.1 spkg? Is there anything I can do to help?

Replying to @mwhansen:

Hi mhansen: Lack of time. I have some notes that do 99.5% of the work for 1.1. We need to package various bits like boehm's gc either within the optional spkg or add some additional optional spkgs that get automatically installed. I am not sure what I will do during SD8, but maybe I will get to this.

SPKG for 1.1 on OSX and Linux available at http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/gfurnish/spkg/macaulay2-1.1.spkg

This depends on the gdbm and boehm_gc spkgs at #3531 and #3532.

from sage.

After installing the spkgs at #3531 and #3532 successfully, I get this:

...
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: error: cannot find input file: GNUmakefile.in

Never mind -- my download was corrupted (by me).

from sage.

The new spkg builds without errors on my Ubuntu 8.04 Core 2 Duo machine.

This builds successfully on bsd.sage

We are still making some changes to clean this up even more on other OS's.

The latest spkg built and installed fine for me on Linux.

The spkg Gary provided has been uploaded to the experimental spkg repo replacing the previous spkg.
