Building SAGE 5.2 from source in Ubuntu 10.04, I encountered a problem and found a solution; I hope it is not inappropriate to record it here so that anyone experiencing the same problem can find the solution with a Web search. Starting SAGE from the sage-5.2 directory immediately after running "make" had produced the warnings:
WARNING: Readline services not available on this platform. > WARNING: The auto-indent feature requires the readline library > I found I was unable to use emacs control keys or arrow keys at the SAGE prompt. The problem apparently was that the readline directory (on my machine, /usr/local/include/readline) had permissions set to 700. Changing the permissions on the readline directory to 711 and compiling SAGE anew fixed the problem. -- -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
