Thanks Robert. I did download the source as a fallback. But I also made a small change to my build process. I created my DOT_SAGE directory and removed the bottleneck to download the necessary packages from sagemath.org. I'd have imagined that with the user-level permissions, the install script would create the DOT_SAGE directory if it didn't exist. Instead a particular step exited with a non-zero status and blocked the entire install script.
I'm now able to download packages automatically and compile the source that I checked out from the repo. -Anton On Tuesday, July 23, 2013, Robert Bradshaw wrote: > You can't, you have to download and unpack the source tarball > > http://sagemath.org/download-source.html It contains all the > > repositorie(s) that you can use to develop on. > > > > There's an effort to move to a single git repository that does work in > > the normal manner (checkout, build, etc.) > > https://github.com/sagemath/sage/ > > > > > > On Mon, Jul 22, 2013 at 12:47 PM, ASageWoodpecker <reply....@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > > > I checked out the Sage source from the repos on Bitbucket.
