archlinux: some system package not recognized

Dear all,

Thanks to hard work it is now possible to use some package from
the system! That is great! But on my archlinux computer that also
has sage installed from the package manager the following
packages are still detected has "to be installed"

* eclib-20190909
* givaro-4.1.1
* lcalc-1.23.p19
* pari-2.11.2
* pari_galdata-20080411.p0
* pari_seadata_small-20090618.p0

The relevant package in archlinux I have are

* community/eclib 20190909-8
* community/givaro 4.1.1-1
* community/lcalc 1.23-19
* community/pari 2.11.3-2
* community/pari-galdata 20080411-2
* community/pari-seadata-small 20090618-2

Should I suspect that something is wrong with the Sage
configure scripts? Or that something is wrong with the packages
from archlinux?

Best
Vincent

Yes, I also see this at the archlinux-latest-standard run at https://github.com/mkoeppe/sage/runs/518106289:

configure: notice: the following SPKGs did not find equivalent system packages: arb cbc cliquer cmake eclib ecm flint fplll git givaro gp2c isl lcalc libatomic_ops libsemigroups mpfi ninja_build ntl pari pari_elldata pari_galdata pari_galpol pari_nftables pari_seadata pari_seadata_small perl_term_readline_gnu yasm zeromq

Should I suspect that something is wrong with the Sage
configure scripts? Or that something is wrong with the packages
from archlinux?

Probably a combination of both. Help with archlinux would be appreciated!

The pari spkg-configure also checks for galpol, elldata and (big) seadata. You need to have these installed for Sage to use the system package.

the reason for this is that at the moment we don't support mixing up
system-wide Pari packages with Pari packages from Sage (my imperession
is that it's simply not possible - for this you'd need user
customisation of the defaut datadir location - but I might well be wrong here)

Thus, an incomplete - in sense that the mapping of them onto the
Sage's Pari packages (standard and optional) is not surjective - set
of system Pari packages triggers installation of Sage's Pari.

I have similar issues on osx.

I installed several packages using brew. Some of them are recognized, but not some others.

I suspect that I'm missing some dependencies, and possibly some environment variables.

For instance, I installed amp, mpfr, mpir, ntl and flint, and flint is the only one not accepted. Why ?

I have also an issue with readline. I'm unable to tell sage that it has been installed with brew :(

Any advise is more than welcome.

Best,

David.

Apparently in your Arch Flint is not linked with NTL, while this is a
requirement for it to be
in useful in Sage.

E.g. that's on Debian:

dimpase@penguin:~/sage$ ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libflint-arb.so
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff6a5fe000)
libflint-2.5.2.so => /usr/lib/libflint-2.5.2.so (0x00007d084386d000)
libmpfr.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmpfr.so.6 (0x00007d08437eb000)
libgmp.so.10 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgmp.so.10 (0x00007d0843768000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007d08435e5000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007d08435c4000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007d0843403000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007d0843e39000)
libntl.so.35 => /usr/lib/libntl.so.35 (0x00007d0842fd2000)
libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007d0842e4e000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007d0842e34000)
libgf2x.so.1 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgf2x.so.1 (0x00007d0842c26000)

So you see libntl there.

I would suggest two things:

$ brew install pkg-config

and then before building Sage, while in SAGE_ROOT:

$ source .homebrew-build-env

Then try ./configure to see what it says at the end about system packages.

I installed some more packages and did what you proposed.

I still get issues with pari / flint and so all related packages.

configure: notice: the following SPKGs did not find equivalent system packages: arb brial cddlib cliquer eclib ecm fflas_ffpack flint flintqs fplll gf2x givaro gp2c iconv lcalc libatomic_ops libbraiding libsemigroups lrcalc m4rie nauty pari pari_elldata pari_galdata pari_galpol pari_nftables pari_seadata pari_seadata_small perl_term_readline_gnu planarity r rw symmetrica tachyon

checking for the package system in use... homebrew

configure: hint: installing the following system packages is recommended and may avoid building some of the above SPKGs from source:

configure:   $ brew install r

I also have an issue with AM_ICONV, although I have gettext (with path in $PATH), readline (recognized) and libiconv.

Checking whether SageMath should install SPKG iconv...

./configure: line 20606: AM_ICONV: command not found

configure: no suitable system package found for SPKG iconv

Don’t know how to fix that.

I think it’s currently why r is not accepted.

Best,

David.

AM_ICONV is a part of gettext

brew install gettext

should fix it.

unfortunately not.

even setting the LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS, I still get

this is not enough, as you need m4 macros that come with gettext, in
particular iconv.m4
I am not sure where brew installes them exactly, but probably
somewhere under /usr/local/opt/gettext/
Probably /usr/local/opt/gettext/share/aclocal
but you can find it by running

find /usr/local/opt/ -name iconv.m4

and then

export M4PATH=$M4PATH:/usr/local/opt/gettext/share/aclocal # (or
whatever the correct value of the directory is)
./bootstrap

PS. Homebrew should get a bug report on this, I gather...

maybe it should not have / at the end?

Anyway, I presume you can just copy or symlink these files to
/usr/local/share/aclocal
and try ./bootstrap again

I installed gettext with brew some time ago now and added /usr/local/opt/gettext/bin to my PATH, but it’s not working.

You need to copy/symlink all these m4 files.
Spicifically, you seems to have forgotten lib-link.m4, which contains
the definition of AC_LIB_RPATH
you see the error about.

Right. thank you.

This way it’s much better and after .configure, I get

config.status: creating directory local/var/lib/sage/installed

configure: notice: the following SPKGs did not find equivalent system packages: flintqs gf2x gp2c libsemigroups nauty pari_elldata pari_galpol pari_nftables pari_seadata perl_term_readline_gnu

checking for the package system in use... homebrew

configure: No equivalent system packages for homebrew are known to Sage

The last part is curious...

I will follow #29504
