The not surprising result -- given your original post -- is that Sage
doesn't build on CentOS 6. I took the standard minimal CentOS 6
image (on Google Compute Engine), then did this:
yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'
and downloaded sage-6.7, extracted the source, and typed "make", which
ended in failure building git (complete build log at
http://wstein.org/tmp/install-fail.log.bz2 -- I put the end at [1]
below).
I have no additional time to work on this. I think your options include:
1. setup a CentOS development environment somewhere and get Sage to
build on it, or
2. wait and hope some Sage developer decides to make Sage support
CentOS 6 (which isn't even the current version).
3. Try to use a binary built for a different platform on CentOS --
maybe it will sort of work well enough for your use.
4. pay somebody to do 1.
