Hi Carlo, strange indeed. I looked at log you posted, several spkg's install fine, e.g.:
libgpg_error-1.6.p1 Machine: Linux snehurka 2.6.18 #6 SMP Mon Nov 27 17:53:06 CET 2006 x86_64 GNU/ Linux Deleting directories from past builds of previous/current versions of libgpg_error-1.6.p1 Extracting package /usr/users/carlo/sage/spkg/standard/ libgpg_error-1.6.p1.spkg ... -rw-r--r-- 1 carlo guest 404117 2009-07-10 00:09 /usr/users/carlo/sage/ spkg/standard/libgpg_error-1.6.p1.spkg libgpg_error-1.6.p1/ Then opencdk fails, as you wrote: opencdk-0.6.6 Machine: Linux snehurka 2.6.18 #6 SMP Mon Nov 27 17:53:06 CET 2006 x86_64 GNU/ Linux Deleting directories from past builds of previous/current versions of opencdk-0.6.6 Extracting package /usr/users/carlo/sage/spkg/standard/ opencdk-0.6.6.spkg ... Ohhhh jeeee: operation is not possible without initialized secure memory /usr/users/carlo/sage/local/bin/sage-spkg: line 179: 10963 Aborted ls -l "$PKG_SRC" The command that failed to execute is the "ls" command in line 179 of the $SAGE_ROOT/local/bin/sage-spkg script --- although it did execute fine several times before during the install run. Essentially, that seems to be some problem of your system/environment, but not of "Sage itself". The error message "Ohhhh jeeee: operation is not possible without initialized secure memory" is not a one from Sage, but from your system, and triggered somehow by calling the "ls" command. A Google search for the string "Ohhhh jeeee: operation is not possible without initialized secure memory" shows hits that seem to point out that the "GnuTLS" library on your system might be broken/too old. (Just use Google search yourself ...) Could update this package to a newer version? Another guess, if that's impossible/doesn't help --- the line above: -rw-r--r-- 1 carlo guest 404117 2009-07-10 00:09 /usr/users/carlo/sage/ spkg/standard/libgpg_error-1.6.p1.spkg begins with printing rather restricted rights for the user "carlo" with regard to the Sage sources. Would your environment allow for trying to compile Sage using the user account "root"? Third guess: The spkg packages installed "just before" opencdk are according to your log: "libgpg_error-1.6.p1", and then "libgcrypt-1.4.3.p1". I'm unsure whether the installation of these two packages possibly could inject somehow a broken GnuTLS library in the build system/ environment, but one never knows ...
