Yes, the pre-requisite libraries seem to be installed, but I need to make a comment here for openSuse users.

The prerequisites install line in zipper is

% sudo zypper install binutils make m4 gawk perl python3 tar bc which glibc-locale-base gcc gcc-c++ ca-certificates gzip findutils diffutils patch bzip2 pkgconf zlib

There is no package in opensuse Leap 15.5 (and other versions) named "boost-base" I am guessing that this is a euphemism for the basic libraries, say a dozen or so???

The two pkgconf(bzip) and pkconf(zilb) lines are NOT zypper installed. They are run separately on a shell script line

% pkgconf bzip2 zlib

I need more information about what is meant by boost-base ??? zypper2 has no idea what this is .

It would be nice to get these corrections noted on the https://github.com/sagemath/sage/blob/develop/build/pkgs/_prereq/distros/opensuse.txt page.

you also need the packages listed here:

I carefully did a "git clone -b master /https://github.com/sagemath/sage.git"; 
command and let git populate the /sage directory and resolve the updates, etc.

I then did a simple ./bootstrap command and it ran fine

Next I did the ./configure command and it is failing at the end.

I poked around inside the real_configure file, put some tracing on inside so I 
could see how this file was really executing and it ran through all the 
packages just fine, but it is blowing up on line 98986 and following lines of 
real_configure

This is where it is failing...

if properties=$($SAGE_BOOTSTRAP_PYTHON build/bin/sage-package properties --format=shell $SPKGS 
2>& 5) && eval $properties
then :

else $as_nop

     as_fn_error $? "Package directory missing. Re-run bootstrap." "$LINENO" 5
fi

Can anyone tell me what is going on exactly here and why a failure would occur?

Thanks for your help. I really would like to get sage v10.8 built.

Randall

P.S. I have git cloned the sage directory 5 times now and keep hitting the same 
problem.
