Hello. I have run into this error installing the fricas package twice in the past couple of weeks with two separate development snapshots of Sage: 1) the devel branch of Sage downloaded using git; and 2) most recently, with the sage beta snapshot posted on sagemath.org (sage-7.5.beta6).
I'm running Linux Mint 18 (Sarah) with a 64-bit x86 Ubuntu kernel (as reported by uname). I downloaded the sage-7.5.beta6 tarball, extracted it, and then built sage using the following procedure (one temporary error involved, which might be another bug itself): $ ./configure $ make all [Error reported building docs about the psutil package] $ ./sage -sh (sage-sh) pip install psutil (sage-sh) exit $ ./configure $ make all [Done building Sage] Then when I try to run "sage-devel -i fricas" with the new aliased version of Sage, it exits with the following error about the scripts in sage_bootstrap: *********************************************** make[1]: Entering directory '/home/maxie/sage-7.5.beta6/build/make' sage-logger -p 'sage-spkg fricas-1.2.7' '/home/maxie/sage-7.5.beta6/logs/pkgs/fricas-1.2.7.log' [fricas-1.2.7] Found local metadata for fricas-1.2.7 =========================== WARNING =========================== You are about to download and install the experimental package fricas-1.2.7.
