Error Building sage-6.2: Error installing package mpir-2.6.0.p4

[Yun Peng Lin]

I'm trying to build Sage 6.2 (latest version from http://www.sagemath.org/) from the source distribution.

After running "make", it built for an hour before failing when trying to build 

package: mpir-2.6.0.p4.

A section of the mpir-2.6.0.p4 log file containing the error is below.

I'm trying to make sage in redhat version 5.7 Tikanga. The system is 64Bit, CPU is an Intel Xeon processor.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks!

Error installing package mpir-2.6.0.p4

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

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

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

  /home/user_test/test/sage-6.2/logs/pkgs/mpir-2.6.0.p4.log

Describe your computer, operating system, etc.

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

/home/user_test/test/sage-6.2/local/var/tmp/sage/build/mpir-2.6.0.p4 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/user_test/test/sage-6.2/local/var/tmp/sage/build/mpir-2.6.0.p4' && '/home/user_test/test/sage-6.2/sage' --sh)

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

Hmmm, could you perhaps upload the full MPIR build log
(logs/pkgs/mpir-2.6.0.p4.log) somewhere?

Thanks for the rapid response and apologies for the delayed response. I think I've managed to get a binary build working. Will have to test and see.
