When I run a "make" from within the 4.8 sage directory....

"Installing c_lib
python: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by
/root/sage/sage-4.8-linux-64bit-fedora_release_16_verne_-x86_64-Linux/local/lib/libpython2.6.so.1.0)
ERROR: There was an error building c_lib.
make: *** [build] Error 1"
