Sorry, I meant relatively trivial for someone who knows how spkgs work - I was thinking someone might cook one up. Try replacing your spkg with http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/kcrisman/python-2.6.4.p10.spkg just to see if the most trivial possible change works. > downloaded the python-2.6.4.p10, extracted it, and copied it in place of > the p9 that was in the sage spkg directory, with no change in results. No, by design it shouldn't change results. It only is testing for Ubuntu 11. But it doesn't matter. Do a normal (i.e. failing at Python) Sage build. When it gives you the message you saw Instead, the following commands setup all environment variables correctly and load a subshell for you to debug the error: (cd '/home/george/APCG/apcg/mcp/sage/spkg/build/python-2.6.4.p9' && '/ home/george/APCG/apcg/mcp/sage/sage' -sh) and then it's possible to make the changes with all environment variables appropriately set. Though I don't think it would be as easy as typing "make" there, since the Python spkg has a little more to it than most. > Is this the proper procedure or does something else needed to be modified? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
