Thanks for the suggestion, I just had a go at it. It may be relevant that the newest version of Xcode I can use is 6.2. I exported SAGE_PORT to something non-empty. And then moved opt/local (there was no sw that I could find), so that it didn't use MacPorts. After about 3 hours of seemingly happy compiling, it couldn't build openblas. Here's part of error message. "Error building Sage.
The following package(s) may have failed to build (not necessarily during this run of 'make all'): * package: openblas-0.2.19 log file: /Users/smeagher/Downloads/sage-7.4/logs/pkgs/openblas-0.2.19.log build directory: /Users/smeagher/Downloads/sage-7.4/local/var/tmp/sage/build/openblas-0.2.19 The build directory may contain configuration files and other potentially helpful information. WARNING: if you now run 'make' again, the build directory will, by default, be deleted. Set the environment variable SAGE_KEEP_BUILT_SPKGS to 'yes' to prevent this."
