Issues with the install: README.txt needs updating. At least for Ubuntu ranlib doesn't show up as an option for apt-get, but it is part of the binutils package. Also needs to be updated re: the new requirements for gfortran. It still lists the old info. GCC needs to be all lowercase for apt-get to find it on Ubuntu.
The sagenb.org still lists itself as being 4.3, but at least some of the options listed as new for 4.3.1 work on it, so I assume that was just overlooked? I tried to build sage-4.3.1 from source with a clean install of Ubuntu 32-bit on my faster computer. It's a quad core AMD Phenom 9650 with 8 gig of memory. It made it quite a ways, but then failed at building r-2.9.2 I used the options from the README.txt file: export SAGE_CHECK="yes" export MAKE="make -j4" This seems to be the relevant part of the install log: Successfully installed r-2.9.2 Running the test suite. make[2]: Entering directory `/home/erik/Downloads/sage-4.3.1/spkg/build/r-2.9.2/src' make[3]: Entering directory `/home/erik/Downloads/sage-4.3.1/spkg/build/r-2.9.2/src/tests' make[4]: Entering directory `/home/erik/Downloads/sage-4.3.1/spkg/build/r-2.9.2/src/tests' make[4]: warning: -jN forced in submake: disabling jobserver mode. make[5]: Entering directory `/home/erik/Downloads/sage-4.3.1/spkg/build/r-2.9.2/src/tests/Examples' make[5]: warning: -jN forced in submake: disabling jobserver mode.

Describe your computer, operating system, etc. So it looks like it compiled r, but then found an error in the test suite and quit the make process because of that? The entire log is 13.6MB, but if someone wants I can email the entire file offlist. Thanks, Erik
