ARRGH! My system is using python 3.13.5 and I still cannot build.
I just checked using the alternatives command for "python3"
does sage math v10.8 using simple "python" and thinks that this will
automatically refer to python12 ???
my python refers to 2.7.18
perhaps this is the problem???

as I wrote in a reply which went to nowhere due to a typo in the address,
the immediate problem is in your /bin/python3,.
which does not have urllib (or urllib.request, i.e. urllib is too old)
installed.

I tried:
./configure --with-system-python3=no
and that still crashes.
I am starting to wonder if sage v10.8 is incompatible with openSuse Leap 15.5
and that OS must be abandoned?
Leap 15.5 is NOT supported by openSuse anymore, so I guess I will have to
upgrade to 16.0
I have thousands and thousands of programs on my linux machine, so upgrading is
fraught with deep peril.

Hello all:
Well Gemini pegged part of the problem as Sage 10.8 needing Python 3.12 to run.
My openSuse Leap 15.5 is stuck on Python 3.11 which is too old.
I had to install some repositories to get Python up to level 3.12, and then I
had to go through some antics to get certain files active because of this error
message
Package 'python312-pip' not found.
Package 'python312-setuptools' not found.
Package 'python312-sqlite' not found.
No provider of 'liblzma-devel' found.
Even after fixing all this and sage configure being happy now with my Python
3.12.. I still keep hitting the same error and everything is dead in the water.
alas, Sage complains that my python 3.12 is misconfigured... Gemini AI doesn't
know what it is doing either.
