In fact I did "make distclean" instead of the first two lines as I was in no hurry (and te machine has 32 cores but was otherwise idle). I am still working on two of my (ubuntu 16 LTS) machines which managed to build sage's python3 without openssl support. I had the relevant python2 wrapper packages installed but not the python 3 ones, so I installed those and started again, no luck so far but I'll track it down by comparing log files across machines. (Not having ssl support means that sage -pip install fails, as everyone knows, but which is not deemed to be a fatal failure of prerequisites.) > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to a topic in the > Google Groups "sage-release" group. > To unsubscribe from this topic, visit > https://groups.google.com/d/topic/sage-release/OB5SKREDJts/unsubscribe. > To unsubscribe from this group and all its topics, send an email to > sage-release+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/sage-release/CAEcArF2NnOpGCfu_zcz%2BDOP0c_L0dx%3DVpgnT1JaCRpB4p7Cznw%40mail.gmail.com > . > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-release" group.
