OK, its clear Python failed to build the crypt module. I assume this means it found the bits to build it, but was unable to. > Full logs at > http://users.aims.ac.za/~jan/sage/install.log-sage4.6.2-ubuntu11.04-amd64-beta2.bz2 The output of install.log is pretty useless if someone does parallel builds of packages as the order of entries is essentially random. I've not checked your log, but can you provide one of just the python log in spkg/logs. That should show the problem, without downloading a huge file filled with unnecessary things. It would also be helpful if you could download Python 2.6.4 from the python web site and see if that builds this module. Also try for the latest of the 2.x series. If the problem persists when you try to build the latest Python 2.x, then it might be worth reporting this to the python bug tracker, after first checking to see if someone else has reported it. This could be something specific to Sage- we have made numerous patches to Python 2.6.4, but it could be a more general problem. Try googling to see if others have problems with the "crypt" module on your release of the operating system. > Regards, > Jan Dave -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
