And the question is, of course, does anybody know why and what I might be able to do to fix it. This is sage version 5.5, built from source on ubuntu server x64 12.10. After the build finished, I successfully installed openssl and pyopenssl. But database_gap installation failed. As an additional note, I also tried the same thing with sage 5.5 on ubuntu desktop x64 10.04 with similar results.
I tried to install database_gap, as advised by the build from source readme, using the command:
./sage -i database_gap
And I got the results:
