Hello, As the error message states very loudly: > Error: The path to the Sage directory ($SAGE_ROOT) MUST NOT contain spaces. You installed sage in a path containing "Program files" which contains spaces. So please don't do that. For what it's worth, this is not so much a problem with sage itself, but rather with some of the software that it provides wrappers for, not all of which is as flexible when it comes to system integration. So the error is trying to prevent you from doing this so that you'll have less pain later. Please don't build programs in a path containing spaces in general--lots of UNIX-y software tends to not like this (and it's more pain for you too). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
