I am building Sage from source as a user without root privileges.  The
machine on which I am building Sage has the following specifications:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client release 5.2 (Tikanga)
4 X 1GHz Dual-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2220
32G RAM

.

In the "make" output, I'm seeing 68 instances of

/usr/local/lib/libpython2.6.a: could not read symbols: Bad value

.  Shouldn't Sage ignore all pre-existing installs of Python?


Yes, it should, but it does not. I mentioned this on sage-solaris the other day, though of course very few people read that, so nobody replied

http://groups.google.com/group/sage-solaris/browse_thread/thread/5dcc7ed68d279f67?hl=en

(In fact, I've yet to have a single reply to anything I've posted no 
sage-solaris!)

In my case, matplotlib failed to build. The "solution" (which is not a solution), was to run as root:

# chmod 000 /usr/local/lib/libpython2.6.a /usr/local/lib/python2.6

so the install in /usr/local could not be found.

Thanks,

Alex
