leif,

Thank you very much for your detailed instructions!
They solved the readline problem during compilation.

I had not encountered the Symmetrica and the Singular issues yet,
but now I have found the work-arounds you talked about.

May this piece of information be useful to you:
after 'make'-ing sage succesfully, sage now starts with this warning:

""
WARNING: Readline services not available on this platform.
WARNING: The auto-indent feature requires the readline library
""

It does not bother me at all. If you wish to investigate it further,
I am available to give you information about it.

Best regards,
Thomas Oliveira
