Hi there,

I am a newbie to Sage, though I have some experience with Linux and
Python in general.

I have tried to build the latest 4.4.3 version of Sage from source,
but, after having checked that I apparently have all necessary program
dependencies satisfied, and issuing the command make under my Sage
root directory, the following error was reported:

configure: gcc (4.3.2) and g++ (4.2.4) are not the same version
configure: which they must be. Check your setting of CC and CXX
configure: error: Exiting since the C and C++ compilers have different
versions
ERROR: You do not have all of the prerequisites needed
to build Sage from source.  See the errors above.
make[1]: *** [installed/prereq-0.7] Error 1

So what do you recommend? As far as I could check, there are deb files
for both the lower version of gcc and the higher version of g++, under
Debian lenny repositories and, indeed, my machine has both 4.3.2 and
4.2.4 gcc versions installed (SIC). The point is, if I install these
other versions, how do I force the use of a given version of gcc (or g+
+, for that matter) when building Sage?? If that is possible, is it
advisable?

I would imagine that either would work fine--chances are if you install, for example, the 4.3.2 g++ package then it will get picked up by default over what was there previously.

Thanks in advance!!!

PS: when is it due to appear Debian lenny i386 and amd64 official
binary versions of Sage, such as there are for Ubuntu and Suse in
Sage's site??

When someone is willing to consistently build and upload them.
