A likely candidate for the build failure is that the version of GCC on your system is too old. This snippet is from the beginning of the install log you posted: checking g++ version... 3.4.6 configure: Good, gcc and g++ are the same version (3.4.6) configure: Later, it will be checked if GCC 3.4.6 is suitable configure: WARNING: ****************************************************** configure: WARNING: ****************************************************** configure: WARNING: ****************************************************** configure: WARNING: GCC 3.4.6 is too old and can not build Sage. configure: WARNING: Please use a gcc of at least 4.0.1 configure: WARNING: if you just want Sage to build without problems. configure: WARNING: configure: WARNING: However, rather than exit as this point, the Sage configure: WARNING: build will continue, in case you want to debug configure: WARNING: a package, that will not build without a later GCC, configure: WARNING: but you want to try getting it to work with configure: WARNING: GCC 3.4.6. At the time of writing, (28th Sept 2009) configure: WARNING: 'ratpoints' was a program, needing GCC 4.0.1 configure: WARNING: which is later than would be ideal. configure: WARNING: ****************************************************** configure: WARNING: ****************************************************** configure: WARNING: ****************************************************** If you are unable to upgrade your system or your system's version of GCC, I'm not sure how to help. Perhaps someone else could help out. -- Regards Minh Van Nguyen -- 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
