installation of Sage

[Michael]

Hello!

Since yesterday I have been trying to Install Sage 4.5.2 on my
netbook. After many years of using Windows I just changed to Linux (32
Bit, Opensuse 11), so I'm not yet used to working with this operating
system. So I downloaded the binary installation archive from sage.org
and followed exactly the instructions of the Installation Guide. I
could unpack the archive without any problems, but then typing
"/.sage" in the commandline didn't do anything or started Sage with a
bunch of errors ("couldn't open gap"...) so sage was not even able to
compute 3+4. Is there a mistake in the binary or the Installation
guide? I tried at least 5 times to install Sage properly, so I hope,
it wasn't just my own mistake.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Michael

Hi Michael

have you tried just typing

sage

after the system prompt (something ending with $)

Regards
Jorge

Could you give the entire output from running './sage'?

[Michael]

I just tried it once more with he same result. This is the output I
get: (For me it's kind of cryptic, but maybe one of you can help me.)
Thanks a lot!

Googling "sh: undefined symbol: rl_filename_rewrite_hook" immediately
led me to this thread:

http://www.mail-archive.com/sage-s...@googlegroups.com/msg16822.html

There, the problem seemed related to different compiler versions,
although the error above is probably readline related.

OK, but what concrete steps do you suggest to solve the problem?

Mind that the OP is new to Linux (and Sage), and that he tries to
install Sage on a netbook (so, compiling from source might exceed the
computer's resources).

Cheers,
Simon

[Innigo]

Is it possilbe it's just because "the sage install tree may have
moved"? There seems to be a fair few import errors and a lot not
found. Suse 11 should have the latest gcc shouldn't it? It's not just
a permissions or $PATH thing? Apologies in advance if this is naively
hopeful.

[Michael]

I just installed the latest version of gcc, but there are still the
same errors. Anyway, does it make any difference for the binary
version?

[Michael]

It's getting quite a bit annoying to me. Even the new version of Sage
doesn't work. There are exactly the same error messages again, but I
did exactly as it was said in the installation guide (unpack the
downloaded file, change into the resulting directory and type ./sage
in the terminal). Is it possible, that I have to move the downloaded
tar.gz-file to another directory, that I can't execute the program in
the directory "Downloads" where it gets by the download?

Best regards,

Michael

Have you tried building from the source distribution? Download it,
unpack the tar file, and type "make". Then wait a few hours. (I
suppose there may be some incompatibility between the binary
distribution and your system.)

I found

http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel/browse_thread/thread/3f0f6d8c6ead4816/cb77c0fdf55a8e85

in which William suggests

cd SAGE_ROOT
rm local/lib/*readline*

as a possible workaround. (Or you can 'mv' the files outside the Sage
tree.) Does this help?

Michael, is your system fully updated to the latest stable packages for
your openSUSE version? Also, how much RAM does your computer have?

[Michael]

I tried what you said, but there occured an error again. I'll post the
relevant lines below. I tired to open the subshell and debug the
program, but that didn't work either. There seems to be a missing
".py"-file or something, I do not fully understand what I get there.

I hope you can help me to fix that. Thanks!

Here the command line output from the occurance of the error on:

I'm not familar with the openSUSE distribution, but your installation
should have a semi-automatic update utility that checks openSUSE servers
(or mirrors) for newer packages (with bug and security fixes, etc.) than
you have on your system and installs them. I'm just asking whether
you've run this utility recently.

The builder.py error here is secondary. We're tracking this problem at

According to

http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-help-here/pre-release-beta/433623-11-3-milestone-2-died-after-bash-update.html

you may need to update bash. I think you can check for updates with YaST:

http://en.opensuse.org/YaST_Software_Management

[Michael]

All right, I run that utility at least once a week, so that should e
fine.

sage: An error occurred while installing sqlite-3.6.22
Please email sage-devel http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel
explaining the problem and send the relevant part of
of /home/michael/Downloads/sage-4.5.3/install.log. Describe your
computer, operating system, etc.
If you want to try to fix the problem yourself, *don't* just cd to
/home/michael/Downloads/sage-4.5.3/spkg/build/sqlite-3.6.22 and type
'make check' or whatever is appropriate.
Instead, the following commands setup all environment variables
correctly and load a subshell for you to debug the error:
(cd '/home/michael/Downloads/sage-4.5.3/spkg/build/sqlite-3.6.22' && '/
home/michael/Downloads/sage-4.5.3/sage' -sh)
When you are done debugging, you can type "exit" to leave the
subshell.

I tired to update bash, but it doesn't semm to make any difference.

Thanks again!

Just to be sure: Did you try

cd SAGE_ROOT
mv local/lib/*readline* /path/to/some/temp/dir

with the binary Sage distribution? You could also try this in the
compilation from scratch; run "make" again to continue the build.

The Sage SQLite package (and other packages) depends on the Sage
Readline package. We may see the bash error here because this is where
your system's bash first finds a newly-built but incompatible Readline
library under SAGE_ROOT.

YIPPIE!

It finally worked, I can now use Sage on my computer. The *readline*-
command did help indeed (I must have done something wrong trying it
for the first time).

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

Best regards,
Michael

Have fun with Sage!

There's an existing ticket for upgrading the Readline spkg:
