Some Sage packages want to run autoconf/autoheader/automake during installation. This may fail, since auto$foo is not a prerequisite of Sage. Usually, the build still works but in some cases, this may cause the build to fail (this happens for example with ecm-6.3.p3 on the Skynet machine "iras"). This can usually be fixed by fixing timestamps and/or not patching configure.in, only configure itself.
I patched five packages which have this problem, please review: http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/12501 Thanks, Jeroen. -- 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
