I am trying to compile Sage from the sage-4.6.1.tar source file. I am running gentoo linux with the latest stable packages.
My system: gcc version 4.4.4 (Gentoo 4.4.4-r2 p1.2, pie-0.4.5) (includes g++) m4 1.4.15 ranlib GNU ranlib (GNU Binutils) 2.20.1.20100303 make 3.81 I tried to compile like this: export SAGE_CHECK="yes" export MAKE="make -j12" (using a hex-core intel cpu) make The end of install.log looks like: =============================== test_xrange test_zipfile test_zipfile64 test_zipfile64 skipped -- test requires loads of disk-space bytes and a long time to run test_zipimport test_zipimport_support test_zlib test test_zlib failed -- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/sage-4.6.1/spkg/build/python-2.6.4.p9/src/Lib/test/test_zlib.py", line 84, in test_baddecompressobj self.assertRaises(ValueError, zlib.decompressobj, 0) AssertionError: ValueError not raised 326 tests OK. 3 tests failed: test_distutils test_ioctl test_zlib 36 tests skipped: test_aepack test_al test_applesingle test_bsddb185 test_bsddb3 test_cd test_cl test_codecmaps_cn test_codecmaps_hk test_codecmaps_jp test_codecmaps_kr test_codecmaps_tw test_curses test_dl test_gl test_imageop test_imgfile test_kqueue test_linuxaudiodev test_macos test_macostools test_normalization test_ossaudiodev test_pep277 test_py3kwarn test_scriptpackages test_smtpnet test_socketserver test_startfile test_sunaudiodev test_timeout test_urllib2net test_urllibnet test_winreg test_winsound test_zipfile64 Those skips are all expected on linux2. make[2]: *** [test] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/sage-4.6.1/spkg/build/python-2.6.4.p9/src' An error occurred while testing Python ************************************* Error testing package ** python-2.6.4.p9 ** ************************************* sage: An error occurred while testing python-2.6.4.p9 ============================= Any suggestions on getting Sage to build would be appreciated.
