trouble compiling sage-2.8

Hi,

I'm trying to compile sage-2.8 and it breaks down on linbox_wrap, with
the message:

checking for correct ltmain.sh version... no
configure: error:

*** [Gentoo] sanity check failed! ***
*** libtool.m4 and ltmain.sh have a version mismatch! ***
*** (libtool.m4 = 1.5.22, ltmain.sh = "1.5.22 Debian 1.5.22-4") ***

Please run:

libtoolize --copy --force

if appropriate, please contact the maintainer of this
package (or your distribution) for help.

I'm running Gentoo on a standard Dell laptop. I tried the libtoolize
command in the linbox_wrap subdirectory, and after that "make" in that
directory works, but when I come back down to the sage-2.8 directory and
try "make" again, it tries to compile linbox again and fails with the
same message. Is there an easy way to fix this?

I run into the same problem if I try to just update from sage-2.7.3.

Cheers,
Alex

Interesting. William did some ugly hacks to get some include problem
to get away. This was the short term solution and we hope that Martin
Albrecht will update the autohell scripts to make this go away.

Yes: Go in the spkg/standard directory. untar linbox-20070812.spkg,
make the changes. Then recreate the spkg with

tar cjf linbox-20070812.spkg linbox-20070812

and rerun make from $SAGE_ROOT.

Alex,

Did you find a solution for this? I got the same error on my gentoo as well.
I see you have later posts which make it appear that you have sage-2.8
installed.

Please try the linbox package here:

Let me know if it works.

Hi,

Yes, everything went fine, thanks to Michael Abshoff's advice. In
summary, here's what I did:

cd /opt/sage-2.8/spkg/standard
tar xvf linbox-20070812.spkg
cd linbox-20070812/linbox_wrap
libtoolize --copy --force
cd ../..
tar cjf linbox-20070812.spkg linbox-20070812
cd /opt/sage-2.8
make

You can of course get rid of the directory linbox-20070812 that got
created in the process.

Cheers,
Alex

Does using the linbox package posted here work?

http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/was/lj/

Download that and do
sage -f linbox-20070814.spkg

Yes, that appears to fix my problem.
