Hi! My frustration grows: The same problem occurs even with sage-4.6 sources. Since previously a sage upgrade failed, the computer in my office is now sageless.
To summarize it: * When "make" fails, it is in SAGE_ROOT/spkg/build/gsl-1.14/src * It complains the .libs/libgsl.lax/lt1-init.o does not exist. * spkg/build/gsl-1.14/src *does* exist, namely it is a link to .libs/ libgsl.lax/libgslcheb.a/init.o * .libs/libgsl.lax/libgslcheb.a/init.o exists, and I am able to open it. * However, when I try "less .libs/libgsl.lax/lt1-init.o", again the file can't be found. * The sage version that I was recently working with (and that I destroyed yesterday by a failing upgrade) *was* originally built with 4.6-sources. * There was a change in the operating system after my last successful attempt to build from sources. That sounds to me like a problem with the operating system: Could it be that, due to some software switch, the system will not follow symbolic links? Or why is it that "less .libs/libgsl.lax/lt1-init.o" does not do the same as "less .libs/libgsl.lax/libgslcheb.a/init.o"?
