Took the same brand-new (3/20/10) 4.3.4 version of SAGE, ran make
on my Scientific Linux 64-bit 5.4 server.
There, make fails. Excerpt from install.log:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
checking for C compiler default output file name...
configure: error: in `/usr/share/sage-4.3.4/spkg/build/prereq-0.7':
Just as a general point, it is inadvisable to use the root account for anything
that does not require root privileges. The fact this is under /usr suggests you
are doing that.
See, for example:
http://tldp.org/LDP/lame/LAME/linux-admin-made-easy/root-account.html
where it says:
------------
While "root", type commands carefully and double-check them before pressing
return. Sign off from the "root" account as soon as you have accomplished the
task you signed on for.
----------------
There are loads of part of Sage which delete files. Consider the implications if
there was a bug in one of them. By avoiding the root account, you reduce the
chance of any damage occurring to the system.
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
It looks like your C compiler is broken in some way, as all that line of the
configure script does is tries to create a program that just returns 0 -
something like
int main()
{
return 0;
}
If that is failing, something is seriously amiss. It would help if you posted
the output of config.log.
It's possible you will find the problem goes away if you don't use the root
account - it is quite normal for root to have different settings from normal users.
