I had not noticed the warning when I rebuilt mpir, but my SAGE_ROOT directory also lacks VERSION.txt But when I start sage, it reports: ./sage ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Sage Version 5.0, Release Date: 2012-05-14 | so sage seems to know which version it is. What is the role of VERSION.txt ?
