Hi Dima, I'm not sure what you mean by saying that the local install "was broken". It may be broken from the Sage perspective, but from the NTL perspective it is not. As I said, NTL was compiled and installed locally with default options, which do not include -fPIC. Apparently, Sage cannot link to libntl.a compiled without that option, but since this option is not a default one, Sage should not try to blindly link to libntl.a installed in the system. Perhaps, as you say, ./configure should figure that out and give a green or red light for such linking. In either case, that error is unexpected and should not have happened.
