I would like to report a minor problem compiling sage
-----------
* my environment:

    laptop running Fedora 2.6.23.15-137.fc8

    with the intle mkl libraries (blas, lapack) installed



    environmental variables CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS

    are set to point to the intel include and lib directories respectively.


---------------------------
problems building sage 2.10.1

*  two packages configured themselves to use intel's libraries,

    but tried to link (both!) -lmkl_lapack64 and -lmkl_lapack32
    (I lost the log, but I believe they were numpy and scipy)

    work-around: I created links in /usr/local/lib to point libmkl_lapack32.so
    and libmkl_lapack64.so to $INTEL_MKL/lib/32/libmkl_lapack.so

* a question about the R package:
    I would prefer to have R installed only once, but I require some config
    switches.
    My current method is to 
    1) use "sage -sh" to set the environmental variables,
    2) untar the R package, 
    3) modify the configure line to read

          ./configure --prefix="$SAGE_LOCAL" \
                  --with-recommended-packages=yes \
                  --enable-R-shlib \
                  --with-x=$XSUPPORT \
                  --with-readline="$SAGE_LOCAL" \
                  --with-blas="-lmkl -lguide -lpthread" \
                  --with-lapack="-lmkl_lapack"
     4) make and install R
     5)
 restore a saved version of the R library directory
         (where R installs  optional packages) 

     Questions:
         - is there a way to streamline this? (I could always
            write a shell script...)
            Having the script not erase the R/library subdirectory
            in the first place would be a big plus
         - since sage developers readily modify packages,
            is there an easy way to find out whether R might
            have been
 customized
            (possibly requiring reinstallation
            of all my additional R packages?)
----------------------------------
PS: thank you all for all the work you are doing, sage is proving
very useful indeed!
