Sage builds fine, but when producing the documentation, I get 24761 errors
like:
Hi Dave,
If you have time, could you try running the commands
$ rm -rf SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage/doc/output
$ sage --docbuild all html -j
and see how many errors you get then, and whether the output looks any
better? In the future, I hope that the "-j" flag will become the default
setting (trace 13143), so I'm wondering if this will at least partially
solve the problem.
As I reported earlier, there were no errors reported during the build of the
documentation using your commands. I've now checked, and the HTML output looks
fine, without all the junk you see on my screenshot at
http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/documentation-problem-on-Linux-displayed-on-Solaris-box.png
It would still be nice of errors from LaTeX were noticed, and not just silently
ignored. So if someone has the ability to write a test which could catch such an
error, it would be good. But using -j, which I gather forces the use of MathJax,
does at least produce decent documentation for me on CentOS 4.7.
I've not updated the version of LaTeX on here, although as Dima notes that might
be wise. But this server (an IBM x3650) has a specific use and I'm not keen to
mess around with it much as it is doing the job it was bought to do.
I made a quick note on trac 13143 about the fact the -j option "solves" the
CentOs 4.7 issue. Of course, I suspect it is really bypassing the bug, but it
was helpful.
Thank you for your help John.
Dave
