Hi,

I am trying to install sage 4.1.1 from source but the build errors
with the following message,


** Configuration summary for gd 2.0.35:

sage: An error occurred while installing gd-2.0.35.p2

The error seems to be generic since it searching for it threw up many
hits, but I am not sure what exactly to make of it. My system
configuration is as follows,

# uname -a
Linux kalashnikov 2.6.27.7-9-default #1 SMP 2008-12-04 18:10:04 +0100
x86_64 unknown unknown GNU/Linux

# cat /etc/*release
LSB_VERSION="core-2.0-noarch:core-3.2-noarch:core-2.0-x86_64:core-3.2-
x86_64"
openSUSE 11.1 (x86_64)
VERSION = 11.1

# gcc --version
gcc (SUSE Linux) 4.3.2 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 141291]

Let me know if any other information is required, any help would be
greatly appreciated.

PS: I was able to compile sage 4.1.1 without any problems on my laptop
running 32 bit openSUSE 11.1
