I got mugged by a system’s (i.e. Debian testing) upgrade of libflint, going from 2.5.2 to 2.5.3. In Debian, libflint was libflint-2.5.2, with no “version independent” symlink libflint (nor even libflint-2.5). sage was linked “hard” against libflint-2.5.2.
Therefore, Sage crashed at start for lack of ibflint-2.5.2. Attempting to run configure again apparently succeeded but make failed to find the new library. Workaround (compilation in progress) ./configure --with-system-flint=no ; make, which seems to involve a lot of other recompilations (including singular and arb…). What is the recommended way to cope with such surprises ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
