Dear Michael, thanks.
When I returned home this evening the process and the whole system seemed to be frozen as if by memory overload. I slowly tried to close some applications and among them accidentally was the bash in which I had opened the file manager (by su root) to cd into the sage folder in order to run the "make" - and by chain reaction the file manager and then the bash with the sage compilation closed. So I can't even say that the compilation literally crashed or froze, only that I am a little too stupid to let it do it's job. Maybe it was wrong to put it into the lib folder. I am still new to linux and this time a wanted sage not to live in any home directory. Which linux folder would you recommend to extract sage into? Maybe it was also wrong to run it from within a root bash while logged in as user (but in ubuntu I did it just this way). I made a compressed archive file out of the install.log and now I am thinking about where to save is so that it can be linked to. In the meantime maybe the last lines might be significant to you: [Code] make[5]: Entering directory `/lib/sage/sage-3.4/spkg/build/ linbox-1.1.6/src/interfaces/sage' /bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=compile g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H - I. -I../.. -I../.. -I. -I../../linbox -g -I"/lib/sage/sage-3.4/local/ include/linbox" -I"/lib/sage/sage-3.4/local"/include -O2 - DDISABLE_COMMENTATOR -I/lib/sage/sage-3.4/local/include -I/lib/sage/ sage-3.4/local/include -I/lib/sage/sage-3.4/local/include -g -fPIC - I"/lib/sage/sage-3.4/local/include" -I"/lib/sage/sage-3.4/local/ include/linbox" -L"/lib/sage/sage-3.4/local/lib" -I/lib/sage/sage-3.4/ spkg/build/linbox-1.1.6/src -I/lib/sage/sage-3.4/spkg/build/ linbox-1.1.6/src/linbox -I/lib/sage/sage-3.4/local/include -I/lib/ sage/sage-3.4/local/include -D__LINBOX_HAVE_CBLAS -c -o linbox-sage.lo linbox-sage.C mkdir .libs g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I../.. -I. -I../../linbox -g -I/lib/ sage/sage-3.4/local/include/linbox -I/lib/sage/sage-3.4/local/include - O2 -DDISABLE_COMMENTATOR -I/lib/sage/sage-3.4/local/include -I/lib/ sage/sage-3.4/local/include -I/lib/sage/sage-3.4/local/include -g - fPIC -I/lib/sage/sage-3.4/local/include -I/lib/sage/sage-3.4/local/ include/linbox -L/lib/sage/sage-3.4/local/lib -I/lib/sage/sage-3.4/ spkg/build/linbox-1.1.6/src -I/lib/sage/sage-3.4/spkg/build/ linbox-1.1.6/src/linbox -I/lib/sage/sage-3.4/local/include -I/lib/sage/ sage-3.4/local/include -D__LINBOX_HAVE_CBLAS -c linbox-sage.C -fPIC - DPIC -o .libs/linbox-sage.o [End Code] But please don't put too much effort into helping me make sage run on this old notebook, Michael. I've got two other instances of sage running fine. And I am getting more and more familiar with using the sage notebook online. On the long run this might be better anyway for most purposes. Thanks again and have a nice evening (or whatever time it is now at your location)!
