Dear SAGE Developers: Building SAGE 6.0 from source on an Ubuntu 12.04 machine, I encountered a problem at step 9, installing the optional databases. Several databases did install without error, namely database_gap-4.6.4, gap_packages-4.6.4.p1, coxeter3-1.1, and cryptominisat-2.9.6. The following databases, however, could not be installed:
cunningham_tables-1.0 > database_cremona_ellcurve-20121022 > database_jones_numfield-v4 > database_kohel-20060803 > database_odlyzko_zeta > database_pari-20130516 > database_sloane_oeis-2005-12 > database_stein_watkins_mini.p0 > database_symbolic_data-20070206 > extra_docs-20070208 > gnuplotpy-1.8 > guppy-0.1.8 > java3d-20070901 > lie-2.2.2.p5 > mpi4py-1.2.2 > p_group_cohomology-2.1.4 > pycryptoplus-20100809-git > pyopenssl-0.13.p0 > Here is a typical error message: Target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu > Configured with: ../src/configure --prefix=/usr/local/sage-6.0/local > --with-local-prefix=/usr/local/sage-6.0/local > --with-gmp=/usr/local/sage-6.0/local --with-mpfr=/usr/local/sage-6.0/local > --with-mpc=/usr/local/sage-6.0/local --with-system-zlib --disable-multilib > --disable-nls > Thread model: posix > gcc version 4.7.3 (GCC) > **************************************************** > cp: cannot create directory `/cunningham_tables': Permission denied > real 0m0.003s > user 0m0.000s > sys 0m0.000s > ************************************************************************ > Error installing package cunningham_tables-1.0 > Is the problem (as the error message seems to indicate) that the software is trying to create the temporary cunningham_tables directory directly inside the root directory rather than inside the sage-6.0/local/var/tmp/sage/build directory? There was a cunningham_tables-1.0 subdirectory created inside sage-6.0/local/var/tmp/sage/build, containing the files read_cunningham_prime_factors.py, spkg-install, SPKG.txt, and src. I tried manually creating a cunningham_tables subdirectory inside sage-6.0/local/var/tmp/sage/build (with rwx permissions) and re-running ./sage -i cunningham_tables-1.0 inside the sage-6.0 directory, but I got the same error. Similar problems occurred with database_cremona_ellcurve-20121022 and the other databases listed above.
