As of Sage 4.3.1, gfortran is a pre-requisite [1] for compiling Sage on Linux. I have updated the above URL to include instructions for installing gfortran on Debian/Ubuntu. > http://www.sagemath.org/doc/installation/source.html The Installation Guide needs some updates to account for the changes at ticket #7485 [1]. This issue is tracked at ticket #8080 [2]. A similar issue is also tracked at ticket #7484 [3], but for the README.txt at the top-level Sage directory. > and > > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1382405 The instructions at that URL is for Sage version earlier than 4.3.1, so they may not work for Sage 4.3.1 due to ticket #7485. See the URL http://www.sagemath.org/download-source.html for updated instructions for Debian/Ubuntu. > i checked that i had all required langs and tools first. > i came fairly far in the process with make but at the end of > the process i got an error . any one who has a clue what the > problem is? It's recommended that you have Fortran installed. On Debian/Ubuntu, if you have gfortran installed, the command "which gfortran" should report the location of that Fortran compiler: [mv...@sage ~]$ which gfortran /usr/bin/gfortran [mv...@sage ~]$ gfortran --version GNU Fortran (Ubuntu 4.4.1-4ubuntu9) 4.4.1 Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
