First of all: information related to my computer (output of uname -a): Linux myname-desktop 2.6.32-39-generic #86-Ubuntu SMP Mon Feb 13 21:47:32 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux
I was trying to install sage-4.8 from source in ubuntu 10.04. I had downloaded the sage-4.8.tar archive, created the sage-4.8 directory and then used the command "make" inside the sage-4.8 directory. After nearly two hours, I got the report (only relevant part is shown below):
Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 830, in <module> execute_list_of_commands(queue) File "setup.py", line 287, in execute_list_of_commands execute_list_of_commands_in_parallel(command_list, nthreads) File "setup.py", line 238, in execute_list_of_commands_in_parallel p = Pool(nthreads) File "/home/myname/sage-4.8/local/lib/python/multiprocessing/__init__.py", line 227, in Pool return Pool(processes, initializer, initargs) File "/home/myname/sage-4.8/local/lib/python/multiprocessing/pool.py", line 84, in __init__ self._setup_queues() File "/home/myname/sage-4.8/local/lib/python/multiprocessing/pool.py", line 131, in _setup_queues self._inqueue = SimpleQueue() File "/home/myname/sage-4.8/local/lib/python/multiprocessing/queues.py", line 328, in __init__ self._rlock = Lock() File "/home/myname/sage-4.8/local/lib/python/multiprocessing/synchronize.py", line 117, in __init__ SemLock.__init__(self, SEMAPHORE, 1, 1) File "/home/myname/sage-4.8/local/lib/python/multiprocessing/synchronize.py", line 49, in __init__ sl = self._semlock = _multiprocessing.SemLock(kind, value, maxvalue)

Earlier I thought I probably should have used the command "sudo make" rather than "make" but later I found, in sage installation guide and also in ubuntu pages that I am allowed to use the command "make". Please suggest what I should do now. Will it be proper to use the "sudo make" command at this stage or should I do something about the already created sage-files and directories (in the failed installation process)?
