Hi, finally I succeeded in building sage.
Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH didn't solve all issues as e.g. the spkg-install in readline-6.1.spkg expects everything in lib and not in lib64. The problem is that several packages including readline install files (.a, .so etc.) in $SAGE_LOCAL/local/lib64, but these files are expected to be in $SAGE_LOCAL/local/lib. I didn't find out the reason for this. (Maybe a missing devel-rpm, a wrong devel-rpm, a 32-bit devel-rpm too much, a general openSuSE misconfiguration or the sage build-scripts not adapted to 64-bit. If anyone has an idea I probably would investigate further.) The trivial workaround which works for me is: after tar xf sage-4.7.2.tar cd sage-4.7.2 do mkdir -p local/lib ln -s llib local/lib64 and then make. Now everything seems fine at first glance. The readline-spkg of sage does work in openSuSE 12.1.
