After a system upgrade my built-from-source sage install started crashing with the log message
ImportError: libvpx.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory and indeed my system update updated libvpx from 3.x to 4.x, while I can't find any trace of it in the sage/ folder. By way of find-ing and grep-ing, I could however find this $ ldd local/lib/libgd.so ... libvpx.so.3 => not found ... I reinstalled libgd with `sage -i -f`, and everything went back to normal (well, hopefully: tests pass, but I have no idea what libgd is used for). ldd shows another couple of non-basic system libraries libgd depends upon. Among them: libtiff and libjpeg. Here's the full output: $ ldd local/lib/libgd.so linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffc20bd8000) libz.so.1 => /home/defeo/sage/local/lib/libz.so.1 (0x00007fe4e635e000) libpng12.so.0 => /home/defeo/sage/local/lib/libpng12.so.0 (0x00007fe4e6139000) libfreetype.so.6 => /home/defeo/sage/local/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0x00007fe4e5e9d000) libvpx.so.4 => /usr/lib/libvpx.so.4 (0x00007fe4e591d000) libm.so.6 => /usr/lib/libm.so.6 (0x00007fe4e5619000) libtiff.so.5 => /usr/lib/libtiff.so.5 (0x00007fe4e5395000) libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007fe4e4ff5000) libbz2.so.1 => /home/defeo/sage/local/lib/libbz2.so.1 (0x00007fe4e4de5000) libpthread.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fe4e4bc8000) /usr/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000561dc5624000) liblzma.so.5 => /usr/lib/liblzma.so.5 (0x00007fe4e49a2000) libjpeg.so.8 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.8 (0x00007fe4e4738000) Comparing with an install on a different machine, I see no system library libgd depends on there. My guess is that those are optional dependencies that libgd grabs at configure time. Is this behaviour intended, or should we add a couple more --without to the install script?
