sage 6.6: libgd may have failed to build

[fidelbc]

Hello,

Just trying to build sage on arch linux:

[fidbc@avalancha ~]$ uname -a

Linux avalancha 3.19.3-3-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Apr 8 14:10:00 CEST 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux

There seems to be an error while building libgd. A couple of possibly related errors were reported on sage-release:

https://groups.google.com/d/topic/sage-release/flXnvNmWN0c/discussion

I haven't been able to build sage successfully though. When updating I usually just move my current sage root directory to sage_old, and then I just clone from the github repo. Could this have anything to do?

I have tried make distclean and also cloning the github repo all over without success. I have the exact same issue with another computer (same OS).

Please let me know if there is any other info I should provide.

Thanks,

Fidel

this error seems to be arch/gentoo - specific. Perhaps gentoo people can say more.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll check it out.

Issue solved. In case anyone using arch linux runs into the same issue, you can drop the attached patch into the build/pkgs/libgd/patches/ directory.

The problem seems to be with the libvpx library (which was recently updated). For more details see:

I can't build Sage-6.6 on Ubuntu 14.10 (i.e., SageMathCloud's os right
now) because of exactly the same issue... thanks for the patch.
