Comment (by kini):
Looks like the message used to be implemented in `$SAGE_ROOT/sage` as
this:
{{{
#!sh
if [ ! -f "$SAGE_ROOT/local/bin/sage-sage" ]; then
cat >&2 <<COMPLAINT
************************************************************************
You must compile Sage first using 'make' in the Sage root directory.
(If you have already compiled Sage, you must set the SAGE_ROOT variable
in the file '$0').
************************************************************************
COMPLAINT
exit 1
fi
}}}
What does this have to do with `$SAGE_ROOT`? Do we even still want people
to manually hardcode the `$SAGE_ROOT` variable anywhere? Isn't that
supposed to be automatically determined these days?
I updated the patch to copy to stderr and use lines of asterisks as in the
original message, but retained my new message.
