I've never been able to compile sage for some reason and I always gave up instead of following the instructions to report the error. OK, here goes....
I am currently trying to compile sage-4.8 I am using MacOS X 10.5.8 with Dev Tools 3.1.3 (the latest that seems to be compatible with OSX 10.5) 45 minutes into the complie I get errors ... here is what happens in the output just before: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I/Users/zabrocki/Downloads/sage-4.8/local/include/freetype2 -I/Users/zabrocki/Downloads/sage-4.8/local/include -I/Users/zabrocki/Downloads/sage-4.8/local/include -fPIC -g -I/Users/zabrocki/Downloads/sage-4.8/local/include -I/Users/zabrocki/Downloads/sage-4.8/local/include/freetype2/ -MT wbmp.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/wbmp.Tpo -c wbmp.c -fno-common -DPIC -o .libs/wbmp.o gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I/Users/zabrocki/Downloads/sage-4.8/local/include/freetype2 -I/Users/zabrocki/Downloads/sage-4.8/local/include -I/Users/zabrocki/Downloads/sage-4.8/local/include -fPIC -g -I/Users/zabrocki/Downloads/sage-4.8/local/include -I/Users/zabrocki/Downloads/sage-4.8/local/include/freetype2/ -MT wbmp.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/wbmp.Tpo -c wbmp.c -o wbmp.o >/dev/null 2>&1 /bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -fPIC -g -I"/Users/zabrocki/Downloads/sage-4.8/local/include" -I/Users/zabrocki/Downloads/sage-4.8/local/include/freetype2/ -L/Users/zabrocki/Downloads/sage-4.8/local/lib -L/Users/zabrocki/Downloads/sage-4.8/local/lib -o libgd.la -rpath /Users/zabrocki/Downloads/sage-4.8/local/lib -version-info 2:0:0 gd.lo gdfx.lo gd_security.lo gd_gd.lo gd_gd2.lo gd_io.lo gd_io_dp.lo gd_gif_in.lo gd_gif_out.lo gd_io_file.lo gd_io_ss.lo gd_jpeg.lo gd_png.lo gd_ss.lo gd_topal.lo gd_wbmp.lo gdcache.lo gdfontg.lo gdfontl.lo gdfontmb.lo gdfonts.lo gdfontt.lo gdft.lo gdhelpers.lo gdkanji.lo gdtables.lo gdxpm.lo wbmp.lo -liconv -lfontconfig -lfreetype -lpng12 -lz grep: /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.la: No such file or directory sed: /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.la: No such file or directory libtool: link: `/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.la' is not a valid libtool archive make[4]: *** [libgd.la] Error 1 make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 Error building gd. real 0m20.361s user 0m9.704s sys 0m9.796s ************************************************************************ Error installing package gd-2.0.35.p6 ************************************************************************ Please email sage-devel (http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel) explaining the problem and including the relevant part of the log file /Users/zabrocki/Downloads/sage-4.8/spkg/logs/gd-2.0.35.p6.log Describe your computer, operating system, etc. If you want to try to fix the problem yourself, *don't* just cd to /Users/zabrocki/Downloads/sage-4.8/spkg/build/gd-2.0.35.p6 and type 'make' or whatever is appropriate.
