#6563: [with patch; needs review] Singular fails to install header files, since
it
fails to find install-sh

----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
singular-3-1-0-2-20090620 appeared to install on a Solaris machine, with
the file $SAGE_HOME/spkg/installed/singular-3-1-0-2-20090620 existing.
However, it was later realised that some of the singular header files were
not copied to $SAGE_HOME/local/include/singular. Closer inspection of the
install.log showed:
{{{
make[1]: Entering directory
`/export/home/drkirkby/sage/sage-4.1/spkg/build/singular-3-1-0-2-20090620/src/kernel'
./mkinstalldirs /export/home/drkirkby/sage/sage-4.1/local/include/singular
for file in *.h; do ../.././install-sh -c $file
/export/home/drkirkby/sage/sage-4.1/local/include/singular; done
/bin/sh: ../.././install-sh: not found
/bin/sh: ../.././install-sh: not found
/bin/sh: ../.././install-sh: not found
/bin/sh: ../.././install-sh: not found
/bin/sh: ../.././install-sh: not found
/bin/sh: ../.././install-sh: not found
/bin/sh: ../.././install-sh: not found
/bin/sh: ../.././install-sh: not found
/bin/sh: ../.././install-sh: not found
}}}
Changing to the directory
`/export/home/drkirkby/sage/sage-4.1/spkg/build/singular-3-1-0-2-20090620/src/kernel'
and doing an 'ls' of ../.././ I see that it got me to the root directory
of the singular installation - by that I mean where spkh-install,
SPKG.txt etc exist.
Copying install-sh to there solved the problem.
Willem Jan Palenstijn said on sage-devel:
''If I understand things correctly, this is what happens:
when src/Singular/config.status outputs ../kernel/Makefile, it
interprets the two slashes in that path as the output file being two
subdirectories down from Makefile, and so adjusts (the correct)
'./install.sh' (i.e., actually src/Singular/install-sh) to (the broken)''
'../.././install.sh' .
''The reason this doesn't show up on my system (and presumably other
systems) is that /usr/bin/install (with an absolute path) is found and
used
instead of ./install.sh.''
[actually, the missing file is install-sh, not install.sh]
Whatever may or may not be the real reason for this, the simplest solution
is to simply copy install-sh to the top level directory. I know it's not
normal to do it this way, but it might be the quickest. I've created a
patch based on doing just that.

The actual .spkg file is:
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/kirkby/Solaris-
fixes/singular-3-1-0-2-20090620.p0/singular-3-1-0-2-20090620.p0.spkg
It should be noted there are about 10-15 identical copies of the file in
the source distribution! Perhaps someone before had trouble find the file.
So far this has only been seen on Solaris I believe. but is clearly not
specifically a Solaris bug.
