----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
The 'prereq' script in {{{$SAGE_ROOT/spkg/base}}} is currently version
0.7. This does not check that the maths library {{{libm}}} exists. I
thought that was pretty much a formality, but it is not on AIX, where the
shared maths library {{{/usr/lib/libm.a}}} does not get installed by
default.
{{{
-bash-4.1$ ls /usr/lib/libm*
/usr/lib/libmbx.a
}}}
The maths library is part of the {{{bos.adt}}} fileset. Hence a test for
the maths library should be added. After installing {{{bos.adt}}}, so the
maths library exists:
{{{
-bash-4.1$ ls /usr/lib/libm*
/usr/lib/libm.a /usr/lib/libmbx.a /usr/lib/libm_r.a
/usr/lib/libmsaa.a /usr/lib/libmsaa_r.a
}}}
