I tried to build sage 4.7.1 from source under OpenSuSE 11.2 (just typing "make", nothing fancy), and it gets quite far. When it hits "../src/basemath/base3.c" (under the pari subsection) the compiler hangs. The compiler section (gcc) is "cc1", and it appears to suck up memory as if it has a memory leak. I let it chew on "base3.c" for about 15 minutes and the compiler has allocated 8+ GB of memory, with no end in sight.
I realize that this is an old compiler bug, but has anyone got a way to compile 4.7.1 under OpenSuSE 11.2? Changing the compiler's optimization flag from -O3 to -O1 (or -O0) in the peri subdirectories will likely do the trick, but I have not been able to figure out how to do this. The build process seems to regenerate the pari configuration scripts with -O3, no matter what I try. Tnx ... John G.
