I used the standard bash shell. As a matter of fact I spent over an hour of time downloading files from zeromq website and installing the lib zeromq package onto my openSuse Leap 15.5 system after hitting frustrating blockages. I can personally vouch that this library is NOW on my system and has been successfully installed.
But I keep getting this error message during running ./configure in the root directory of sage-10.8 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Checking whether SageMath should install SPKG zeromq... checking whether any of gcc is installed as or will be installed as SPKG... no checking for zmq.h... yes checking for ZMQ version >= 4.2.5... yes real_configure: will use system package and not install SPKG zeromq ## ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ## ## Build status for each package: ## ## ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ## real_configure: error: Package directory missing. Re-run bootstrap. What directory is missing? I can probably install this by hand if necessary and rerun ./configure again. And yes I have run the following 2 command 4 times now % bash bootstrap %./configure But keep getting aborted by the error message posted above. I appreciate any help.. as I am mystified as to why I git clone the main branch of 10.8 but it won't run.
