Hi, I am trying to build sage 4.2.1 from source under OpenSUSE 11.1 (Yes, I know, there are binaries and they run just fine, but for I'd really love to be able to build it myself.)
The prerequisite check works out fine: > Machine: Linux linux-57rx 2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2009-10-26 > 15:49:03 +0100 i686 i686 i386 > GNU/Linux > found make > found ar > found perl > found m4 > found ranlib > found tar > found gcc > found g++ > [...] > All prerequisites appear to be present. Followed only by a warning: > Warning: Attempted to overwrite SAGE_ROOT environment variable The extraction of the sage-script packages runs smoothly, but then immediately two warnings/erros show up: > cp: cannot stat > `/home/zieglerk/8--software/math/sage/sage-4.2.1/sage-python': No such file > or directory > cp: cannot stat `/home/zieglerk/8--software/math/sage/sage-4.2.1/ipython': No > such file or directory Again followed by the warning: > Warning: Attempted to overwrite SAGE_ROOT environment variable The installation of the zlib-packages also makes no difficulties, but then we turn to termcap and after the extraction the trouble starts (and ends). > creating Makefile > make[2]: Entering directory > `/home/zieglerk/8--software/math/sage/sage-4.2.1/spkg/build/termcap-1.3.1.p0/src' > gcc -c -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 > -DTERMCAP_FILE=\"/etc > /termcap\" -I. -I. -fPIC termcap.c > make[2]: *** No rule to make target `tparam.o', needed by `libtermcap.a'. > Stop. > make[2]: Leaving directory > `/home/zieglerk/8--software/math/sage/sage-4.2.1/spkg/build/termcap-1.3.1.p0/src' > ERROR building termcap > [...] > sage: An error occurred while installing termcap-1.3.1.p0 > Please email sage-devel http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel I posted a short version of this on #sage-devel hopping there would be a straightforward solutions. Unfortunately, it does not seem to be that easy, so I was advised to put this here with more background information. Kind regards, Konstantin PS: I had already a binary installation of sage on this machine running, but deleted it before my attempts to build from source. I hope, that is not the reason for the problems, since I "uninstalled" just by deleting the corresponding directory. -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
