Hi

[CC-ing to save-devel.]

I ran this on a from-source compiled 5.0.1 sage on Ubuntu 12.04. The problem
is NOT reproduced.

(the underlying problem might still be that during the compilation
somewhere linking to libraries escapes to system versions somewhere, which
could
be very hard to trace... I'll leave that for others to ponder)

The upstream binary built on 10.04 running on 12.04 seems to be the problem:
*sage-5.0.1-linux-64bit-ubuntu_10.04.3_lts-x86_64-Linux.tar.lzma*

Note the 32bit is built ON 12.04 for 12.04, and probably does not exhibit
this
problem.
*sage-5.0.1-linux-32bit-ubuntu_12.04_lts-i686-Linux.tar.lzma*

Is it possible for upstream to build ON Ubuntu 12.04 for 12.04? I have
asked
before, and am not sure who is in charge of this.

I have asked a couple of times for build scripts. I am not familiar with
build
scripts, cross-compiling, or whether a binary tarball as above is easily
produced with sage -bdist, but if someone helps me I am willing to build
ON 12.04 for 12.04 to be made available in the PPA, or even to build on
multiple versions of Ubuntu.

I'm not comfortable enough with this at the moment to be sure a binary
built on my CPU will run on all 64bit CPUs.

Regards,
Jan
