Oh, according to my install log I had the same problem; I was fooled by the fact that sage started up fine. But now I think I have a solution:
I got curious about what PIL is, and while googling I came across this nice page http://www.sagemath.org/doc/installation/source.html which lists a lot (maybe all?) of the environment variables sage listens to; there are two for PIL, one disabling TK and the other telling PIL to use sage's version of some libraries, instead of system defaults. I tried them both, and sage seemed to finish building fine. . . . and now it has finished ptestlong, passing all tests :) -Niles On Fri, Sep 24, 2010 at 3:40 AM, Minh Nguyen <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Niles, > > On Fri, Sep 24, 2010 at 7:58 AM, Niles <[email protected]> wrote: >> Is there something easy I "forgot" to do? > > I couldn't even get Sage to compile successfully on that machine. > Doing a serial compilation with > > $ make > > resulted in > > /usr/local/lib/libpython2.6.a: could not read symbols: Bad value > collect2: ld returned 1 exit status > error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 > Error building PIL: 'Error installing PIL' > > real 0m10.449s > user 0m8.218s > sys 0m2.186s > sage: An error occurred while installing pil-1.1.6.p2 > > -- > Regards > Minh Van Nguyen > -- To post to this group, send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
