Compilation of sage-6.4.tar.gz resulted in the error attached. On going to the subshell after executing
$ cd '/usr/local/sage-6.4/local/var/tmp/sage/build/pynac-0.3.2' && '/usr/local/sage-6.4/sage' --sh One can configure and make in the pynac-0.3.2/src directory provided one runs the command subshell> autoreconf -i --force as advised by the source. However on returning to the main /usr/local/sage-6.4, $ make removes all that from the pynac directory by the default behaviour of make in sage.and the same error is reproduced! The error originates from : *checking for the distutils Python package... no configure: error: cannot import Python module "distutils". * However, $ ls -la /usr/lib/python2.7/distutils surendran@angeli-acer:/usr/local/sage-6.4$ ls -la /usr/lib/python2.7/distutils total 812 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Apr 24 2014 . drwxr-xr-x 26 root root 24576 Apr 24 2014 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7822 Mar 22 2014 archive_util.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7440 Apr 24 2014 archive_util.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14941 Mar 22 2014 bcppcompiler.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7864 Apr 24 2014 bcppcompiler.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 46633 Mar 22 2014 ccompiler.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 36714 Apr 24 2014 ccompiler.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19270 Mar 22 2014 cmd.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16730 Apr 24 2014 cmd.pyc drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 24 2014 command -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4131 Mar 22 2014 config.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3556 Apr 24 2014 config.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9019 Mar 22 2014 core.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7595 Apr 24 2014 core.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17732 Mar 22 2014 cygwinccompiler.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9801 Apr 24 2014 cygwinccompiler.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 162 Mar 22 2014 debug.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 252 Apr 24 2014 debug.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3509 Mar 22 2014 dep_util.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3172 Apr 24 2014 dep_util.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7870 Mar 22 2014 dir_util.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6774 Apr 24 2014 dir_util.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 50049 Mar 22 2014 dist.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 39432 Apr 24 2014 dist.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11931 Mar 22 2014 emxccompiler.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7449 Apr 24 2014 emxccompiler.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3494 Mar 22 2014 errors.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6245 Apr 24 2014 errors.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10904 Mar 22 2014 extension.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7403 Apr 24 2014 extension.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17948 Mar 22 2014 fancy_getopt.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11916 Apr 24 2014 fancy_getopt.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12689 Mar 22 2014 filelist.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10722 Apr 24 2014 filelist.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7795 Mar 22 2014 file_util.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6616 Apr 24 2014 file_util.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 337 Mar 22 2014 __init__.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 383 Apr 24 2014 __init__.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1686 Mar 22 2014 log.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2762 Apr 24 2014 log.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 31018 Mar 22 2014 msvc9compiler.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21461 Apr 24 2014 msvc9compiler.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23637 Mar 22 2014 msvccompiler.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17471 Apr 24 2014 msvccompiler.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 295 Mar 22 2014 README -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8631 Mar 22 2014 spawn.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6384 Apr 24 2014 spawn.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18808 Mar 22 2014 sysconfig.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14393 Apr 24 2014 sysconfig.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12410 Mar 22 2014 text_file.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9222 Apr 24 2014 text_file.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12709 Mar 22 2014 unixccompiler.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7817 Apr 24 2014 unixccompiler.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18037 Mar 22 2014 util.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14318 Apr 24 2014 util.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5095 Mar 22 2014 versionpredicate.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5528 Apr 24 2014 versionpredicate.pyc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11433 Mar 22 2014 version.py -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7178 Apr 24 2014 version.pyc Why is this invisible to sage-6.4? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
