Hi John, > Thanks -- I mistakenly thought "pbuild" was short for "parallel build". Yes, it is meant to emphasize the parallel nature. Gary builds routinely with 8 cores on his box and it cuts down the build time in a linear fashion. > If it is not about building Sage, while is it called SAGE_PBUILD? It is building the Sage library in parallel. I guess since I sat next to Gary when the ideas where formulated by us it is so obvious to me that I would never consider anything else. But I guess the problem is that Sage is three things as William always points out in his talks. Gary wants to do build spkg in parallel, but I am more than skeptical if that is worth it and doesn't open up a whole other can of worms. That said I am sure we will have parallel spkg builds in less than six months ;) > Anyway, can someone remind me what causes this and how to fix it? wjp found the likely cause and Gary is posting a patch, so hopefully it will all be sorted out in rc0.
