Dear Sage support group,

I am trying to compile sage 5.8 on my newly installed opensuse 12.3. However, the install fails after checking my "build system type".

I've copy pasted the error message below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best, Simon

You do not have all of the prerequisites needed to build Sage

If you would like to try the build anyway (to help porting)
export the variable 'SAGE_PORT' to something non-empty.

How long should this makefile execution take? I have 2gb ram and Intel Atom N2600. I launched it 10 hours ago and it seems it is still working

Intel Atom is quite slow. Probably a day or two. :-) It takes about 3 hours on an Intel Core 2, and about the same on an Intel Core i5.

Do you have gcc installed in your system?

Yes that was the problem. Can't believe I didn't notice that sooner. Anyway, thank you very much!
