Hi, I've been trying to install SageMath 10.8 on Ubuntu 22.04 with regards
to https://sagemanifolds.obspm.fr/install_ubuntu.html . I got an error when
running this command MAKE="make -j8" make, stating “Error installing
package sagelib-10.8
” which turns out to be “a Meson bug” in the log file. The log file is
attached.

Please email sage-devel (http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel)
explaining the problem and including the log files
//etc/sageMath/sage/logs/pkgs/sagelib-10.8.log
and
//etc/sageMath/sage/config.log
Describe your computer, operating system, etc.
If you want to try to fix the problem yourself, *don't* just cd to
/etc/sageMath/sage/local/var/tmp/sage/build/sagelib-10.8 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 '/etc/sageMath/sage/local/var/tmp/sage/build/sagelib-10.8' &&
'//etc/sageMath/sage/sage' --buildsh)
When you are done debugging, you can type "exit" to leave the subshell.
