Dear sage supporters,

when trying to build sagemath again (which was needed after I upgraded linux and thereby python), I got basically the same error in two attempts, namely when building rpy2_rinterface.3.6.6, complaining about wheels, if I understand correctly.

Please find the log attached. What can I do to build sagemath? I soon need it in one of my lectures.

Cheers
Simon

If you don't need R/rpy2, you can either uninstall R from your machine
(and then no interfaces to R are built),
or do

./configure --disable-r

(perhaps --disable-rpy2_rinterface is enough, I don't know)

Dima

PS. It could be that we just don't have enough R/rpy2 users to get
any feedback...

Dear Dima,

sorry, apparently I directly answered to you, not to the list.

I tried ./configure --disable-rpy2-rinterface, but it seems that still some part of the python-2.7 R-related stuff would be build. So, no I'm trying ./configure --disable-rpy2

Thank you
Simon

I actually just tried installing R (version 4.5.3) on my machine, and
then rebuilding Sage with --enable-rpy2_rinterface, and it all worked.

Perhaps you have a really old R?

No idea what kind of R I had and how old it was. Meanwhile I have removed it, so, I cannot look it up. I don't know if Sage will successfully build, it is still in the making.

For the record: Uninstalling R did the trick, now I can use sage again.

Cheers
Simon
