Problems building/installing on Fedora 32

[Robert Poole]

I've been trying to build and install Sage locally on a Fedora 32 system (64-bit), running on a Ryzen 4700U APU with 8 GB of RAM.

I have attached the relevant logs for your analysis.  I'm really stumped by this.

My configure parameters are:

./configure --prefix=$SAGE_ROOT  --enable-4ti2=yes --enable-boost=yes --enable-libogg=yes --enable-libtheora=yes --enable-valgrind=yes

Here's the error that showed up in the console:

What's strange is, I even tried to install nose 1.3.7 manually using easy_install and it seemed to succeed -- but the Sage build isn't seeing it.  Any ideas?

[Enrique Artal]

Have you tried with gcc package. For me it works with an intel precessor.

[Dima Pasechnik]

Note that installing nose works, but it fails its own test suite for
some reason. How do you trigger the latter?

Do you have SAGE_CHECK set to 'yes' and exported?

Also, your --prefix=$SAGE_ROOT looks dodgy.
Setting SAGE_ROOT to anything can lead to bad things during the build.

I have no idea what you are asking me.  I am using the system gcc supplied in Fedora 32.

[Robert Poole]

Yeah, I exported SAGE_CHECK, which I have since removed since many tests fail.

Also, instructions are a little confusing, and I had read in at least one spot that you're supposed to set SAGE_ROOT for the build.

Now you're saying that I shouldn't set that particular environment variable.  Ah well, off to another round of building...

Thanks for the advice!
