I now have a working version sage! I should qualify this: I have a working version of 6.2.rc0 but I am still unable to compile 6.1.1. I think that this is because of #15937 <http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/15937>. This patch is included in 6.2.rc0 and it fixes issues between singular and the version of xcode that preceded the one that I am using.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think that 6.1.1 compiles with the latest version of xcode and the command line tools (5.1.1 build 5B1008). As I'd previously compiled 6.1.1 I assumed that my problems were caused by 6.2.rc0. Then I got stuck, however, because I couldn't recompile 6.1.1. In the comments above there is some confusion about which version of singular sage should have been using and that there may have been git issues. In fact, git was happy and sage was always using the appropriate version of singular for the version of sage being compiled. Once I realised this and found #15937 I gave up trying to compile 6.1.1 and found that I was able to compile 6.2.rc0. I have to say that I am a little confused about the build process. With most systems, make distclean will attempt to return the code to its pristine download state. It seems that sage is doing something different? If this is the case, then I think it would be good to rename this make flag to something more accurate like rebuild/reset/...? Anyway, sage is now working again so I am very happy.
