Revision history [back]

It should be OK to leave your system's Readline libraries in place. Recently, someone had success with Sage 4.5.2 on OpenSUSE 11.x with the suggestion described here.

Are you installing a binary downloaded from a Sage mirror? If so, could you try this:

cd SAGE_ROOT
mv local/lib/*readline* /path/to/some/temp/dir

and let us know what happens? If you're compiling from source, wait until the build fails, then try the steps above and restart the build.

We're tracking this problem at ticket #9523.
