I've downloaded the sage source and proceeded according to README.txt (export SAGE_CHECK="yes"; make). Something with the python stuff went wrong, see below:

When you are done debugging, you can type "exit" to leave the
subshell.

if you could edit this post, wrapping the log output in '<pre>' and '</pre>', it would be easier to read :)

or easier - select the text that should be pre-formatted and hit the "format code" button - the one that has digits on it.

I don't know of a single system on which python passes its self-check. I would suggest unsetting SAGE_CHECK and trying "make" again. (Or unset SAGE_CHECK and install just the python package by typing "./sage -i spkg/standard/python-2.6.4.p9.spkg". Once that's done, you can do "export SAGE_CHECK=yes; make" again to build the rest of Sage.)

thank you, reinstalling without SAGE_CHECK set worked. Interestingly it took ~6 times longer. Any explanation for that? How can I run the checks now after the build, if possible without make?

When you install Sage, it builds roughly 100 packages. When one of them fails, as python did with SAGE_CHECK=yes, then the process stops, possibly with only a small fraction of the packages completed. If the process succeeds, all of them build, so it will take longer, possibly a lot longer.

As far as testing, I don't know how to test each package after the build, but you can run "sage -testall" to run Sage's test suite.
