I'm trying to compile sage9.6 on Ubuntu installed on Windows via WSL using Conda according to these instructions:
 
https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/inst...
 
Apparently Conda wants to install and compile Python3.10.3 as after step: ./configure --prefix=$CONDA_PREFIX I see: 
python3-3.10.3:  no suitable system package; standard, will be installed as an SPKG
 
Then when I do : make I get error compiling Python to the effect of : sys/auxv.h not found when compiling Modules/faulthandler.c
 
Now I read here that there's a patch for this : 
 
https://github.com/python/cpython/com...
 
The problem is that when i apply these changes in the source the next make just overwrites my changes. So I get the same error again.
 
In Makefile I see something like: 
 
/# Preemptively download all source tarballs of normal packages.
download:
    export SAGE_ROOT= (pwd) & \
    export PATH= SAGE_ROOT/build/bin: PATH & \
    sage-package download :all:
 
Suggesting that maybe there is a way to patch the Python source and run make again without overwriting. But so far nothing works.
 
Is there a way to solve this problem? 
Many thanks in advance, this is driving me crazy

Hi Rutger
Is there any particular reason you want to install SageMath via conda on WSL2 ?

@ortollj Not really. This is just the distribution I have at my disposal. I don't think WSL has anything to do with the error..

So maybe you can try to install Sagemath like here  as a work around ? Waiting an answer to the Conda pb ?
