Trying to upgrade to SAGE 2.11 on a Dell with an i686 Intel Pentium D chip and a CPU running at 2.80 GH under Gentoo Linux, I (as root) did "sage -upgrade". Near the end of the process, a message appeared saying that the clisp executable was not installed. The message also stated the the following: "If you already have clisp, you can type touch spkg/installed/clisp-2.38 (or whatever the current version is) from SAGE_ROOT, and continue the install." I tried doing "touch spkg/installed/clisp-2.41" and repeating "sage -upgrade" but the problem persisted. The message that appeared on this second attempt, similar or identical to the first message, reads in part as follows: "/usr/bin/install: cannot stat `clisp.pdf': No such file or directory make[1]: *** [install-man] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory "/usr/local/sage-2.8.2-debian32-i686-Linux/spkg/build/clisp-2.41.p13/src/src' Something went wrong -- the clisp executable was not installed. If you already have clisp, you can type touch spkg/installed/clisp-2.38 (or whatever the current version is) from SAGE_ROOT, and continue the install. This tells SAGE that you already have clisp-2.38 installed. Clisp is only used by the Maxima component of SAGE. real 3m56.837s user 3m25.190s sys 0m30.153s sage: An error occurred while installing clisp-2.41.p13"
Near the end of my lengthy /usr/local/sage-2.8.2-debian32-i686-Linux/install.log the following, possibly relevant, lines appear: "Setting RHOMES to ['/usr/lib/R'] Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 106, in <module> RVERSION = rpy_tools.get_R_VERSION(RHOME, force_exec=True) File "/usr/local/sage-2.8.2-debian32-i686-Linux/spkg/build/rpy-1.0.1.p1/src/rpy_tools.py", line 99, in get_R_VERSION " `%s'.\n" % rexec ) RuntimeError: Couldn't execute the R interpreter `/usr/lib/R/bin/R'.

When I type "R", R starts. I don't why the system "couldn't execute the R interpreter." Any help in resolving this problem would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, John -- John P.
