2 modular vs. monolithic Monolithic packages Main tools available under one roof: Singular, Macaulay2, GAP, Pari/GP,... One package for all your needs Single purpose libraries Very specialized libraries, suitable for use within other software m4ri, m4rie, fflas/ffpack, iml, etc. easy to use, maintain, develop if you need to solve exactly and only that problem complicated dependency tracking

3 LinBox For more general problems... LinBox is not packaged for any distribution and it has many dependencies

4 A quote from Neil Sloane From: N. J. A. Sloane Date: 8 Nov :28 Subject: Re: dumb question about installing pari-gp with fink I would like to thank everyone who responded to my question about installing PARI on an imac. The consensus was that it would be simplest to install sage, which includes PARI and many other things. I tried this and it worked! Thanks! Neil (It is such a shock when things actually work!!)

thank everyone who responded to my question about installing PARI on an imac.

5 Sage Sage creates a distribution of specialized libraries making it easy to use / build on existing libraries libraries available by default (fast arithmetic, linear algebra, groebner basis, etc.) standard file locations for easy install of new ones provides a comprehensive test suite and a framework to develop new functionality but... it has grown too large using only a part of it is not an option maintaining customized versions is hard purple sage sage combinat
