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"?

Best regards,
Simon
