Over a year ago, I was trying to compile Sage and running all the tests under Slackware 10.0 on an old IBM Thinkpad (perhaps R40?). At first the compilation failed due to system resource issues. But I edited my /etc/inittab to boot into a text based session, rather than a graphical session such as Gnome, KDE or XFCE. So after logging into a text based session as a normal user, I was able to successfully compile Sage. It took about 2 to 3 hours, though. For what it's worth, I've written up my work around on the Sage wiki at http://wiki.sagemath.org/faq#Otherquestions The work around is explained in response to the question "When I compile Sage my computer beeps and shuts down or hangs." > 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.
