Can't run binaries

[Sarfo]

Hello,

I have been trying to run a local copy of sagemath from a binary I downloaded after extracting the tarball, typing ./sage in the terminal gives the following error. Please how do I fix it?


gyamfy@holiness ~/SageMath $ ./sage
RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded during compilation

ERROR:  The Sage installation tree has moved

from /home/buildbot/slave/binary_pkg/build/source/SageMath/jc4b6yulaujayb9sr94ia88eourzeqip0oidmas391yaj2
  to /home/gyamfy/SageMath

This is not supported, and Sage will not work. To install Sage from a
binary package:

1. Open the .tar.bz2 archive (or .dmg on OSX)

2. Move the SageMath folder/app to where you want it to be. You can
   also rename the directory now.

3. Start sage for the first time. This will then automatically patch
   paths in binaries.

After starting Sage for the first time you cannot change the
installation any more. To install Sage elsewhere, start over from the
binary package. Or recompile Sage from scratch in the new location
("make distclean && make")

Hi,

It seems your binary is quite old (version 7.3). Can you try again with the 7.5.1 binaries which have just been uploaded at http://www.sagemath.org/download.html
Best wishes,

Eric.

Thanks Eric

I have download the latest binaries but I still get the same error

My OS is : Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon 64-bit
Cinnamon Version: 3.0.6
Linux Kernel 4.4.0-21-generic

Which binary have downloaded?
I've tried with sage-7.5.1-Ubuntu_16.04-x86_64.tar.bz2
and it works fine for me. My system is pretty similar to yours;
OS: Ubuntu 16.04
Linux Kernel; 4.4.0-59-generic

Eric.

If you have Anaconda installed, then remove any references it added to your $PATH variable. They create a conflict with Sage.

compiling from source might be easier and faster than trying a binary that is not quite matching the OS.

[Sarfo]

Thank you all for the responses

I have reinstall the OS and everything works fine now.

Yes indeed. Here are a few hints to build from source:

1/ Make sure that the prerequisites are installed on your system, cf.
http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/installation/source.html#prerequisites
For Ubuntu 16.04 the list of packages to install is
https://wiki.sagemath.org/prerequisitesUbuntu
I guess it is should be pretty similar for Linux Mint 18

2/ run the following commands in a terminal:
git clone https://github.com/sagemath/sage.git
cd sage 
MAKE="make -j8" make
You may adapt the 8 in "-j8" to the number of threads you want
to use for the parallel build, depending on your CPU.

Best wishes,

Eric.

Thank you very much Eric

How does one move the sage directory after building it?

[Gere Mia]

I built mine in /tmp, now it wants me to run it in temp. How can I run it from somewhere else?

[François Bissey]

There used to be a "make install" target but it is deprecated.
You should move the entire install and run
./sage --location
but I never do that. Someone else may have more experience with it.

at present a normal build cannot be moved, you must build in place.

(there is also a special building procedure for binary movable (once!) distributions, but that's probably not

what you want: https://github.com/sagemath/binary-pkg )

There is a ticket to have this fixed: https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/21479

which hopefully will be in soon, and then you'd be able to specify the install location.
