Hi Just for fun, I started a build on the ubuntu development release.
It goes: ... checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking build system type... Invalid configuration `x86_64-unknown-linux-': machine `x86_64-unknown-linux' not recognized configure: error: /bin/bash ./config.sub x86_64-unknown-linux- failed You do not have all of the prerequisites needed to build Sage from source. See the errors above. If you would like to try the build anyway (to help porting) export the variable 'SAGE_PORT' to something non-empty. make[2]: *** [/home/jan/src/sage-5.9/spkg/installed/prereq-1.2] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/jan/src/sage-5.9/spkg' make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jan/src/sage-5.9/spkg' real 0m1.248s user 0m0.128s sys 0m0.136s *************************************************************** Error building Sage.
