 in singular-3-1-0-2-20090620.p0/spkg-install, it should say:

                 --disable-NTL \

 instead of:

                 --with-NTL \

 otherwise, things can get messed as libsingular.so will have the
 same NTL symbols as libtnl.so. What can be very problematic, if
 something also links with the libntl.a generated by the singular
 package.

 This appears to be the root of some of the problems in my
 sagemath rpm packages, where some doctests would fail due to
 libc aborting, and to make things worse, if running the doctest
 only in the offending file, it would not crash, *or* if LD_PRELOAD'ing
 libntl.so.
