Packing a tarball

Postby emerson » 09 May 2011, 14:39

Hi! I have a big array of polytopes that I want to save, following the steps on the tutorial. The script tarballs seems to be loaded correctly, but then I get the following:

polytope > pack_tarball("simple_polytopes.tgz",@g30);

polymake: ERROR: Object Polytope<Rational> does not have a property or method file_suffix at input line 1

What can the problem be?

This is unfortunately a known bug in version 2.9.9. So you can either install version 2.9.10, where this bug is fixed, or you save all your polytopes individually and tar.gz them outside polymake (no subdirectories). Loading an existing tarball also works in 2.9.9.
