<pre wrap="">1. Upstream does not want you to compile as root
2. All modules paths are hard coded during compile
3. relocatable package impossible? - I can't get it to work
The devs want the end user to compile as user in $HOME, and so seem
hostile to the idea that anyone might not. There are scripts etc to try
to fix the directory paths to relocate the folder tree - they use one
for the bre-built binary - but I can't get it to work, or generate one
for Slackware
I give up. I'm dropping this turd.</pre>

Just a tip <span id="result_box" class="short_text" lang="en"><span
class="">for anyone interested in take over maintenance for
sage:</span></span><br>
The AUR guys have made efforts to get the latest version (git)
working on Arch Linux
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sagemath-git/">https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sagemath-git/</a>).<br>
Well... there are up to 16 patches applied in order to get sage
working :-P<br>
Good look for the next sage maintainer... <span id="result_box"

<span id="result_box" class="short_text" lang="en"><span class="">It's
sad to hear this kind of thing. <br>
When a SlackBuild script doesn't work I don't blame its
maintainer because I know that some environmental variables can
affect the build (e.g.: mix SBo packages with software from
other 3rdparty repos).<br>
