Hi,

I tried to build sage from source code on my mac running Mountain lion (10.8.2), but didn't succeed.

I followed the instruction of the README on sage website, i.e., enter the source code folder and run 'make'.  I pasted the last portion of the log from the terminal below. Also, in case it helps, here is a link to the log file suggested in the terminal log:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/38390926/python-2.7.3.p0.log

Thank you so much for your help.

Hi, John,

Thanks for the tip. I tried it, but no luck :-( The 'make' got stuck pretty
much at the same place.

Michael,

OK, I didn't try either of the two things last time. But I didn't get lucky
either after 'make clean' and deleting old scipy package. It failed at the
same spot.

Hi John,

Thanks for following up on this. So, I tried your suggestion. Here are a
few shell lines:
