When I build sage-1.4.1.2 on my x86_64-Linux machine (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 - As edition), I get the following error during the givaro build:
: /usr/local/gcc-4.1.1/x86_64-Linux/lib/../lib/libstdc++.so: could not read symb ols: File in wrong format This is happening because the code is incorrectly trying to use /usr/local/gcc-4.1.1/x86_64-Linux/lib/libstdc++.so when it should be using /usr/local/gcc-4.1.1/x86_64-Linux/lib64/libstdc++.so In other words, my machine is a "multilib" machine - it has libraries for both 32-bit and 64-bit code. Unfortunately the code in givaro is incorrectly trying to use 32-bit code together with 64-bit code. I have tracked down that the problem is due to the macro AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER in aclocal.m4. (aclocal.m4 is used to create configure). I reported the problem to the libtool folks and suggested a possible solution. It looks like they have incorporated my solution into the stable branch of libtool (currently libtool-1.5.23a). Until the givaro developers start to use an updated version of autotools (autoconf, automake, libtool), here is how to modify givaro for SAGE. 1. Go to www.gnu.org/software/libtool and download the latest snapshot of the stable branch of libtool. 2. Replace the macro AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER in givaro/aclocal.m4 (lines 1190-1776) with the code for the same macro in libtool.m4. 3. Remove configure 4. Run 'autoconf'. This will create a new configure that will use the new macro code.
