Dear SAGE developers,

I too had a few errors building SAGE from source in
Ubuntu 9.10.  I do seem to have a working installation
now, so maybe the errors are harmless.  I've posted my
install.log file here:

  http://gmarks.co.cc/install.log

(with some slight editing done for security reasons;
if I've missed something I would be grateful to be so
informed).

The most serious problem seems to be recorded toward
the end of the install.log file: "An error occurred
while installing database_gap-4.4.10."  (Actually, this
error occurs a few times, once for each time I attempted
to install that database.)  There was also a problem
installing database_cremona_ellcurve-20071019.spkg and
lie-2.2.2.p3.

Another strange phenomenon was that certain
subdirectories (e.g. sage-4.2/local/lib/gap-4.4.10/prim
and sage-4.2/local/lib/gap-4.4.10/small) listed "1003,"
rather than me, as owner (the group was also "1003").
As a result, I had to run a recursive chown and chgrp
on sage-4.2 to be able to move it to another directory.
Harmless, I suppose, but weird.

Thanks for your work on this.  I've been gradually
porting old Maple worksheets I'd written for several of
my classes to SAGE, and have been advising my students
how far superior SAGE is to Maple and Mathematica!

Sincerely,
Greg
