Hi Christopher,Since sage-on-prefix is semi-official I though I would indicate an issue I encountered in installing Sage from sage-on-gentoo in a prefix on Debian Linux.
When building sympow (sympow-1.018.1_p8-r1) the Debian system gcc compiler was being used instead of the Prefix gcc. This was because sympow provides in Configure a whichexe() function with hard-coded search paths. The easiest thing for me was to add:
# fix EPREFIX in whichexe() function
sed -i -e "s:-f \/bin:-f ${EPREFIX}\/bin:" \
-e "s:echo \/bin:echo ${EPREFIX}\/bin:" \
-e "s:\/usr:${EPREFIX}\/usr:g" \
Configure || die "failed to fix EPREFIX in whichexe()"
to src_prepare(). I didn't think about it until just recently, but
perhaps the hard-coded paths could be removed so the prefix/gentoo
system 'which' is used.
