New description:

 pdehaye reported a build error in pari on IRC.

 We tracked this down to what seems to be a bug in pari's Configure script
 (or rather config/get_fltk): if X11 is not found, and fltk is found, it
 ignores the --graphic=none option. It then tries to build with fltk
 support, and fails spectacularly.

 (Aside: pari-2.4.2.alpha still has the same logic in config/get_fltk.)
 This [http://groups.google.com/group/sage-
 support/browse_thread/thread/0c895b6b12eb1d41 sage-support] thread also
 reports the same problem.
