Can not run make

[Tim M]

Good evening all, I am trying to run make but get the following error.

make build/make/Makefile --stop
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/macka/Sage/sage-9.5'
rm -f config.log
mkdir -p logs/pkgs
ln -s logs/pkgs/config.log config.log
****************************************************************************
error: Sage source tree is unconfigured. Please run "./configure" first.
note:  Type "./configure --help" to see the available configuration options.
****************************************************************************
make[1]: *** [Makefile:55: build/make/Makefile] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/macka/Sage/sage-9.5'
make: *** [Makefile:38: base-toolchain] Error 2

I have run ./configure many times but nothing changes.

Any help would be much appreciated.

What is the output of ./configure?

Note the latest stable version is 10.0, not 9.5.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for responding.

The output of ./ configure is as follows:

I understand I cant run make as root but to run configure I need to be root.  As for the version, on the Sagemath download it said 9.5 for my version of Linux.

Any help is appreciated

What happens when you try to run configure as macka?

What release of linux are you running?

Sorry, you apparently want to build Sage from source. Then you need to
download the sources:
https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/installation/index.html#linux
from
https://github.com/sagemath/sage/releases

Nothing there says you need version 9.5 for anything.
We stopped shipping pre-built binary Linux versions of Sage a while
ago (the last such were released for Sage 9.4, as far as I know)

OK I think I have it, if I download the source of version 10 from github I should be able to configure and make that.

[Tim M]

Im sorry this just isn't working for me.  I downloaded the version 10.tar.gz file and after unpacking there is no ./configure available.

Yes, you need to run

./bootstrap

(or, what amounts to the same thing,
make configure
)

first of all, as documented in https://github.com/sagemath/sage/#readme

[Dima Pasechnik]

any reason to run this as root?

configure: error: You cannot build Sage as root, switch to an
unprivileged user. (If building in a container, use
--enable-build-as-root.)

If you absolutely must run this as root, you can run

./configure --enable-build-as-root

It was giving me a bunch of fails when I didn't sudo make.  but that fixed it, it is now working.

Thankyou so much for your help.
