You can open the ticket. The patch worked and all the tests for flint passed. Here's what I did in order to test it:
======== tar xvfz sage-6.5.tar.gz cd sage-6.5 # MANUALLY PATCHED Makefile.in in upstream/flint-2.4.4.tar.gz # MANUALLY PATCHED build/pkgs/flint/checksums.ini to reflect the changes in flint-2.4.4.tar.gz export MAKE="make -j8" export SAGE_CHECK="yes" make ======== That said, when using SAGE_CHECK="yes", I get another error: ======== sage-6.5> grep -H "^Error" *.log logs/*log logs/pkgs/*.log config.log:Error: Non-numeric character in statement label at (1) config.log:Error: Unclassifiable statement at (1) config.log:Error: Expected expression in PRINT statement at (1) config.log:Error: Invalid character in name at (1) logs/install.log:Error testing package python-2.7.8 logs/install.log:Error building Sage. logs/pkgs/config.log:Error: Non-numeric character in statement label at (1) logs/pkgs/config.log:Error: Unclassifiable statement at (1) logs/pkgs/config.log:Error: Expected expression in PRINT statement at (1) logs/pkgs/config.log:Error: Invalid character in name at (1) logs/pkgs/python-2.7.8.log:Error testing package python-2.7.8 ======== The errors in config.log are present even if SAGE_CHECK is not set to yes, but it doesn't stop sage from being built.
