New description:
As the summary says. A new spkg is available here:
-
[http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/palmieri/SPKG/boehm_gc-7.2.alpha6.p1.spkg]
Old (merged) version:
-
[http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/palmieri/SPKG/boehm_gc-7.2.alpha6.p0.spkg]
This also upgrades to version 7.2.alpha6. According to
[http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/gc/ the boehm-gc website], the
current stable version (7.1, which is what is included in Sage) "is old
enough that you are almost certainly better off going with the much more
recent and only somewhat experimental version", namely 7.2.alpha6.
The home base for this ticket is the Lion ticket #11881.

Comment(by jhpalmieri):
Okay, I think I know how to fix this: add these lines to spkg-install:
{{{
#!diff
diff --git a/spkg-install b/spkg-install
--- a/spkg-install
+++ b/spkg-install
@@ -39,6 +39,10 @@ if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
exit 1
fi
+if [ "$RM" = 'rm' ]; then
+ unset RM
+fi
+
make
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "Error building BoehmGC."
}}}
In Sage 4.5.3's version of `sage-env`, we used to have
{{{
if [ "$RM" = "" ]; then
RM="rm" && export RM
fi
}}}
We no longer have these lines, and their presence in 4.5.3 is why the
upgrade fails. So forcibly unsetting `$RM` if it's set to 'rm' fixes the
problem, at least for me.
I've posted a new spkg, listed in the ticket description, and a
corresponding patch, for review. (It's simple enough that maybe we don't
need a new ticket.)
