Hi, Sorry that I realized this is the devel group instead of support group only after I had applied and was approved membership. If this is the wrong group, please let me know.
I was (am) building Sage 4.7 from source on a freshly installed OpenSUSE 11.4 (the binary for Ubuntu didn't work). After a couple of problems that I was able to find solutions on searching this group (like readline, /libppl.so.9.0.0, etc). I met one that I couldn't find solutions online. Thus I need your help. My machine is an old Dell Precision 450, Xeon 2.8G, 2G RAM. The error happened at building R and it complains my c compiler. Any ideas? Thanks, Andrew.

Describe your computer, operating system, etc. If you want to try to fix the problem yourself, *don't* just cd to /home/andrew/Download/software/sage-4.7/spkg/build/r-2.10.1.p4 and type 'make check' or whatever is appropriate. Instead, the following commands setup all environment variables correctly and load a subshell for you to debug the error: (cd '/home/andrew/Download/software/sage-4.7/spkg/build/r-2.10.1.p4' && '/home/andrew/Download/software/sage-4.7/sage' -sh) When you are done debugging, you can type "exit" to leave the subshell. -- To post to this group, send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
