As I mentioned in another posting I tried a simple install from source
(on slitaz linux).
1. I got he message that prereq-0.7 is missing.
prereq-0.7 and prereq-0.7-install.tar is present. On
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/8052 I found the remark that
prereq-0.7-install.tar will be untared automatically - it is NOT!
2. I untared prereq-0.7-install.tar by hand and the next message is
telling:
base/prereq-0.7-install: cd: line 178: can't cd to prereq-0.7
base/prereq-0.7-install: line 180: ./configure: not found
ERROR: You do not have all of the prerequisites needed
Next I checked line 179 and line 180:
tar mxvf "../base/$TARGET.tar"
cd "$TARGET"
./configure
I wonder about the tar options mxvf ? On minimal systems (like slitaz or
tinyCore linux) m is not provided! I would not say it is a bug, but it
is a nuisance!
It can't really be called a bug, as there is no agreed standard for options to
'tar' - they are not defined by POSIX. But I would accept that 'm' is not a
commonly used option.
I've created a ticket to remove this option, which seems to be unnecessary.

That will be fixed in Sage 4.5, though I think you have other more serious
problems on your system.
