See ticket #7484 [1] for some effort to update the README.txt. A related ticket is #8024 [2] for updating the scripts to check for pre-requisites. > export SAGE_CHECK="yes" Usually, you should not do this.

I often use this script to build Sage as follows $ chmod +x build.sh $ nohup ./build.sh & [1] http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/7484 [2] http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/8024 -- Regards Minh Van Nguyen
