Error installing package ncurses-5.9.20131221

[Tom Kitchen]

I get the following error  when trying to compile sage with gcc 5.2. I believe it is the same as the ticket here http://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/18977#no1. I am running Manjaro linux.

Error installing package ncurses-5.9.20131221

************************************************************************

Please email sage-devel (http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel)

explaining the problem and including the relevant part of the log file

  /home/tom/sage/logs/pkgs/ncurses-5.9.20131221.log

Describe your computer, operating system, etc.

If you want to try to fix the problem yourself, *don't* just cd to

/home/tom/sage/local/var/tmp/sage/build/ncurses-5.9.20131221 and type 'make' or whatever is appropriate.

Instead, the following commands setup all environment variables

correctly and load a subshell for you to debug the error:

  (cd '/home/tom/sage/local/var/tmp/sage/build/ncurses-5.9.20131221' && '/home/tom/sage/sage' --sh)

When you are done debugging, you can type "exit" to leave the subshell.

Error building Sage.

The following package(s) may have failed to build (not necessarily

during this run of 'make all'):

* package: ncurses-5.9.20131221

The build directory may contain configuration files and other potentially

helpful information. WARNING: if you now run 'make' again, the build

directory will, by default, be deleted. Set the environment variable

SAGE_KEEP_BUILT_SPKGS to 'yes' to prevent this.

I have attached the entire log file incase I have missed something important.

Since this is presumably fixed, can you try the latest beta/rc candidate? 

You can get the latest beta version from the "develop" git branch. Alternatively, the self-contained source tarball is at http://www.sagemath.org/download-latest.html

Seems obvious when you say it... Thankyou that did the job
