    Really?  That's a bug (maybe the bug is in *checking* for m4,
    because it
    is not needed).

    Please elaborate: post your install.log and system specifics.


I am not having a specific problem except trying to understand the minimum requirements.
I am interested in packaging sage (not debianizing, just getting a deb).

This is a 64bit Ubuntu 11.10 install, and I have installed very few things extra.
Just now python failed to build and I had to add dpkg-dev.

Yes, earlier m4 caused a fail. I purged it now, stopped the make, re-untarred sage,
and reran make. Install.log attached.

Regards,
Jan


are you planning to create a ppa and if so will you support i386 as well as 64 bit I love to install it at home also the 64 bit would do for work
