Yup. It is all system packages. In fact R and its dependencies are not part of the sage-on-gentoo “repo”. Also in Gentoo we don’t usually split things in $package and $package-devel you get the nice libraries for linking and headers.
The headers and stuff in $package-devel is the sticky point when requiring $package from the host distro. You most certainly will have curl, openssl, xz and pcre installed. And equally unless you chose a “develop” configuration you’ll have very few of the necessary devel packages. Which is a problem for anyone without admin access on their machines. Mind you some compiler requirements may now enter the same category, we do have messages from people who have a C compiler but didn’t install a C++ one from time to time. Ideally for those in particular it would be best to go with your distro in my opinion. How many people have a linux box without some kind of admin access?
