Well, took me some time (using `strace`) to find out a while ago *why* the build failed, because there was no appropriate error message. (And that was on a machine on the Sage cluster where /home wasn't mounted for some time after the trouble with electricity.) I wouldn't consider or expect being unable to access / read $HOME a (fatal) error anyway. > I do not follow the Sage build > methods in detail but ecl should always be invoked with -norc when used as > a compiler for third-party applications and not by a casual user. Thanks, didn't know that. I'll take a look at our scripts, but I think it may also be Maxima upstream that doesn't use that. -leif -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
