I am attempting to compile Sage on Ubuntu 16.04. I downloaded the binaries and installed a package. I run "make" in my Sage directory and this is what I get:

The following package(s) may have failed to build (not necessarily during this run of 'make all'):

The build directory may contain configuration files and other potentially helpful information. WARNING: if you now run 'make' again, the build directory will, by default, be deleted. Set the environment variable SAGE_KEEP_BUILT_SPKGS to 'yes' to prevent this.

Makefile:16: recipe for target 'all' failed make: *** [all] Error 1

Following the suggestion in the error message, I changed my environmental variables as follows (I added the second line):

~/Desktop/SageMath$ cat /etc/environment PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games" export SAGE_KEEP_BUILT_SPKGS=yes

Then, following a suggestion here I executed the following:

sudo apt-get install libstdc++6

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

When I run "make", I still get the following errors:

Can someone please advise? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Please tell us where you downloaded Sage. Most often a source tarball includes an executable script called `configure` or `autogen.sh` that needs to be run before `make` to set up the build environment. Did you do this? Or was there no such file? – Zanna Aug 21 '16 at 22:15
  • Hi, Zanna. I downloaded it from sagemath.org. The readme file didn't say I needed to compile anything. In fact, I was able to execute sage. It was only after I downloaded and installed a package; and then ran "make" that I encountered a problem. Yes, it came with a configure file. I just ran "make configure" and it said "make: 'configure' is up to date." – user584936 Aug 21 '16 at 22:54
  • @user584936 And what is this package that you downloaded and installed? – edwinksl Aug 21 '16 at 23:01
  • Ah you don't `make configure` you run the configure script like this `./configure` do that and tell us your next problem... but what is the program you are trying to compile, if not Sage? – Zanna Aug 21 '16 at 23:04
  • @Zanna : I ran `./configure` without any issue. @edwinksl : The package I downloaded was `polytopes_db_4d` obtained via typing in a shell `./sage -i polytopes_db_4d` – user584936 Aug 22 '16 at 02:21
  • I may have come up with a fix for this following [link](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sage-support/yAsyKA-pA4M) (cf. the second to last message) but may have also inadvertently created another issue that I hope you can still assist me with. I ran `ldd /usr/bin/eog` and found `libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6` Then I tried to create hard links to the new libstdc++ compiler; but accidentally removed the compiler with: `ulink libstdc++.so.6.0.20`! (Didn't know `ulink` is effectively `rm`) – user584936 Aug 22 '16 at 03:11
  • Continuing, now I have `~/Desktop/SageMath$ ls -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6` `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 -> libstdc++.so.6.0.22` and :~/Desktop/SageMath/local/lib$ ls *libstdc* -l `libstdc++.a` `libstdc++.so -> libstdc++.so.6.0.20` `libstdc++.so.6.0.20-gdb.py` So it seems like both `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6` `/home/davidk/Desktop/SageMath/local/lib/libstdc++.so` are using `libstdc++.so.6.0.22` instead of `libstdc++.so.6`. The problem is that `libstdc++.so.6.0.22` doesn't seem to exist (can't find it using `locate`). Advise? – user584936 Aug 22 '16 at 03:14
  • after `./configure` exits without errors (and you've thanked any applicable divine powers) then you run `make`, and usually it works OK. As far as I can tell there was no problem except that you didn't do that. Personally, I'm confused by your subsequent messages (`ulink`??) Can you please [edit] your question instead of putting additional info in comments. – Zanna Aug 23 '16 at 16:32

  1. Verify your current libstdc++ has GLIBCXX_3.4.21:

    strings /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBCXX_3.4.21

  2. Create a symlink as follows:

    ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6.0.21 /home/davidk/Desktop/SageMath/local/lib/libstdc++.so.6

  3. make
