Ok Hart I have now changed the make command to:
make CC=c99 FC=gfortran-4.2 and a new error emerges: libtool: link: `/home/orca/sage/sage-4.4.3/spkg/build/ freetype-2.3.5.p2/src/objs/ftsystem.lo' is not a valid libtool object make[2]: *** [/home/orca/sage/sage-4.4.3/spkg/build/freetype-2.3.5.p2/ src/objs/libfreetype.la] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/orca/sage/sage-4.4.3/spkg/build/ freetype-2.3.5.p2/src' real 0m29.418s user 0m22.877s sys 0m4.668s sage: An error occurred while installing freetype-2.3.5.p2 Please email sage-devel http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel explaining the problem and send the relevant part of of /home/orca/sage/sage-4.4.3/install.log. Describe your computer, operating system, etc. If you want to try to fix the problem yourself, *don't* just cd to /home/orca/sage/sage-4.4.3/spkg/build/freetype-2.3.5.p2 and type 'make check' or whatever is appropriate. Instead, the following commands setup all environment variables correctly and load a subshell for you to debug the error: (cd '/home/orca/sage/sage-4.4.3/spkg/build/freetype-2.3.5.p2' && '/ home/orca/sage/sage-4.4.3/sage' -sh) When you are done debugging, you can type "exit" to leave the subshell. make[1]: *** [installed/freetype-2.3.5.p2] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/orca/sage/sage-4.4.3/spkg' real 1m4.089s user 0m54.599s sys 0m6.140s Error building Sage. ./sage -docbuild all html 2>&1 | tee -a dochtml.log python: can't open file '/home/orca/sage/sage-4.4.3/devel/sage/doc/ common/builder.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory Any new directions please???
