New description:
If you build Sage but do not run it, then the script {{{sage-location}}}
does not get run, so the file {{{$SAGE_ROOT/local/lib/sage-current-
location.txt}}} does not get written. So if you move the Sage install
directory before running it, the paths in the files
{{{SAGE_ROOT/local/lib/*.la}}} are not correct. The attached patch
updates the paths in those files if the file {{{sage-current-
location.txt}}} does not exist.
(I'm marking this "minor" since it's not likely to happen at all
frequently. When it does happen, it can screw things up pretty badly,
though.)

Comment:
Except that the file's name is {{{sage-current-location.txt}}}...
Good catch by the way, I assumed it was an even larger, perhaps OS-related
problem.
