I noticed this error message
creating /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rpy2
error: could not create '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/rpy2': Permission
denied
whilst trying to build R. (See more below if you wish).
The important thing is that it tried to write to directories where the system
python (/usr/lib) is installed, rather than in the Sage area. If someone tries
to build Sage as root (and plenty of people are either blissfully unaware of the
risks, or chose to ignore them), though could end up really screwing their
system up.
Since I do not build Sage as root, I just got the error message:
This is a very similar issue to that reported here
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9209
Basically, bits in Sage often "pick up" things like python from outside the Sage
directory tree, and act on them rather than their own version.
