error compiling 5.11 from source

[Luis Finotti]

Dear all,

I tried to compile 5.11 from source on a linux box running aptosid (basically Debian Sid) with kernel 3.11, but it stopped when compiling singular (or it seemed to me):

------------------
Error building Sage.

The following package(s) may have failed to build:

package: singular-3-1-5.p7
log file: /home/sage/sage-5.11/logs/pkgs/singular-3-1-5.p7.log
build directory: /home/sage/sage-5.11/spkg/build/singular-3-1-5.p7

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.

make: *** [build] Error 1
---------------------

I've posted logs at

http://www.math.utk.edu/~finotti/misc/


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You're using gcc 4.8.1 - I don't think Sage is known to work with it...

here is the relevant part of the log:

gcc -O2 -g -fPIC -pipe -I. -I.. -I/home/sage/sage-5.11/local
-I/home/sage/sage-5.11/local/include
-I/home/sage/sage-5.11/local/include
-I/home/sage/sage-5.11/local/include -I/usr/local/include -DNDEBUG
-DOM_NDEBUG -Dx86_64_Linux -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c weight0.c
In file included from ../kernel/si_gmp.h:4:0,

#include <bits/c++config.h>
^
compilation terminated.
make[4]: *** [weight0.o] Error 1

So bits/c++config.h isn't where it should be...
What does
locate c++config.h
say?

You can also try building Sage with the gcc that comes with it.
To do so, set SAGE_INSTALL_GCC=yes
(as explained in
http://www.sagemath.org/doc/installation/source.html#section-envvar)

HTH,

This is a known and fixed bug:
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/14737

You could try the latest beta:
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/release/sage-5.12.beta5/sage-5.12.beta5.tar

Thanks Dmitrii and Jeroen for the replies.  5.12 beta 5 compiled fine.

Thanks!

Luis
