So, I set export SAGE_CHECK="no" but the same checks went into play and failed. Then I unset SAGE_CHECK variable and the build goes through. I still have to do make test.
I don't know why the checks don't work for package python, but if I could make a suggestion maybe it would be better that the check ships that package because now the check is nonfunctional. Also I think that SAGE_CHECK="no" should not trigger the check. Actually, I installed Ubuntu just to be able to run Sage. So, after what I read in the last post I went back and checked and the binary is really entitled sage*-ubuntu_10.04.1_* I have not noticed up front that this Ubuntu version would be prefered. Maybe a notice about this should be written in download guide. Thank you on the help. I'll keep you posted if something else fails for me. -- 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
