(mostly due to Bernhards help) I've pushed a draft for singular-3-1-4.
currently, the Singular shell runs and the development headers and
library are in place. my only test case for it is an (experimental)
sage, which throws an error
$ python -c'from sage import all'
// ***dError: Bug reported: Could not get expanded executable from
// libsingular.so
occured at feResource.cc,443
occured at:
value:
feInitResource: entering for BinDir
feInitResource: entering for Singular
feGetExpandedExecutable: calling find_exec with =libsingular.so=
feGetExpandedExecutable: find_exec exited with ==-1
As i have never been a Singular user, and (apart from sage) do not have
any use for it, i would be happy if somebody could test the packages
with simpler examples and for his own purpose and help point out the
problems.

felix
