Michael Doob I looked briefly at the siunitx package. It seems like overkill, since your other suggestion solves the problem. It turns out that in math mode, inside an asymptote label, \text{} causes an asymptote compile error, while \textrm{} does not. Who knew? Anyway, you have solved my problem, thanks.

correction : first part should be $\frac{100 \text{ft}}{\text{sec}}$

I want to create a label, that in latex would be written as $\frac{100 \text{ft}}{\sec}$ The following code works okay, except that the "ft" and "sec" strings are written in math font, rather than text font: label("$\frac{100 ft}{sec}$",(0,0)); When trying the following code instead, I get an error message. label("$\frac{100 \text{ft}}{\text{sec}}$",(0,0)); When trying the following code instead, I get "textft" and "textsec" strings showing:. label("$\frac{100 \\text{ft}}{\\text{sec}}$",(0,0));

I request that anyone authorized to do so, update this posted question with "... - Solved". I received an informative answer after posting "Understanding the apt-get build-dep process" at https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/792517/understanding-the-apt-get-build-dep-process Basically, I initially misunderstood the apt-get build-dep process. The addendum at the end of my unix.stackexchange posted question details the specific steps that I took, inside a [Virtual Box 7 : Linux Mint 22 guest] to...

Forgot to add that I am running Linux Mint 22.

I was intrigued by John Bowman's suggestion that asymptote could be rebuilt from the source via apt-get build-dep asymptote ./configure make all make install Researching and experimenting, I have tentatively concluded that I need to first, temporarily, add an entry to /etc/apt/sources.list that looks something like deb-src file:/home/steve/Downloads/asymptote-3.00 where /home/steve/Downloads/asymptote-3.00 is the directory of the extracted source files. Unfortunately, trying many different variations...

To ollydbg: I am just starting to study Asymptote's 3d capabilities, and I am curious. Is it possible to refine the asymptote code that you posted so that it looks more like the image that Rocky Bernstein is trying to reproduce. As a reference, the pertinent link is given below. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79386112/getting-a-asymptote-3d-graph-look-more-like-mathematicas

When I execute asy against a 3d rendering, a pop-up screen flashes for a second, with what looks like messages or a picture, and then closes. Shown below is a sample file named tut03.asy that can be run to reproduce the situation. I am now running Asymptote 2.88 on Linux Mint 20. settings.outformat = "pdf"; settings.prc=false; size(5cm,5cm); import three; draw(unitsphere); The corresponding bash command is asy tut03.asy Questions: 1. Why is this happening on 3D renderings, but not 2D renderings?...
