sage won't compile on Arch Linux i686

[Rob Steenburgh]

Hello:

I just began using sage and was very impressed with its capabilities.  Unfortunately, almost as soon as I began using it, I found out the latest version won't compile on Arch Linux and some other distros.  Details can be found at these links:

http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/11391

and

http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2012-February/017571.html

Will these issues ever be addressed?  I'd love to keep learning and using sage, but don't want to abandon my current flavor of Linux.

Thanks,
Rob
