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.
