Not that anybody is likely to be bitten by this problem except me, but for completeness sake this is the story: I had written a build-script that unpacked the sage tarball and then did this:

   cd //root/of/the/new/sage/release ; make install

This consistently failed: for some strange reason polybori didn't install its header files! After a few dozen futile attempts to debug the scons build-script I tried this instead:

   cd /root/of/the/new/sage/release ; make install

And this works, of course...

I had already learned earlier (see ticket #14018) that two slashes at the beginning of a path can have special meaning, so I suppose I somehow deserve the trouble I got...
