The one error log excerpt below is useless. Without install.log there
is nothing one can do.
We should really change the error message, especially the word
"relevant" in
"explaining the problem and send the relevant part of"
since more and more new Sage users have little understanding what part
of the log is required to debug the problem. We also need to stop
asking people to send the log to the list since I am not looking
forward to the next person sending out a multi MB uncompressed
install.log :p
Overall it looks like some kind of problem related to X, but I would
not be surprised if macports and/or Fink is involved here.
