I tried to build sage 5.2 from source but it failed when installing python-2.7. I figured that python did not find some modules since they were actually not installed (but they were built!) into the sage tree.
Here is a relevant part of install.log: make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/sage/sage-5.2/spkg/build/python-2.7.3.p0/src' Testing importing of various modules... Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named math math module failed to import Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "/home/sage/sage-5.2/local/lib/python2.7/hashlib.py", line 141, in <module> import logging File "/home/sage/sage-5.2/local/lib/python2.7/logging/__init__.py", line 26, in <module> import sys, os, time, cStringIO, traceback, warnings, weakref ImportError: No module named time hashlib module failed to import Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named crypt crypt module failed to import Error: One or more modules failed to import. real 4m50.410s user 2m41.258s sys 0m39.538s ************************************************************************ Error installing package python-2.7.3.p0 ************************************************************************ However, I found the missing modules in spkg/build/python-2.7.3.p0/src/build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7 and copied them into local/lib/python/lib-dynaload where I found them in my previous installation. Now the building process continued (it's not done yet, so we will see). However, I did not figure out why these libraries have not been installed. Any ideas?
