Can you expand upon this? Not even Unix dependent, but precisely Linux? There's no hope of getting it to work with, say, homebrew on Mac OS X either?

Part of the issue for sage with tying into a lot of academic software is it has to tie into a lot of academic software, and that sort of stuff isn't always made with a lot of concern beyond 'can the graduate student compile it on the graduate student's machine and maybe the local cluster.'
I'm just surprised to see Sage getting accusations of grad-student level of maintainership code. Are they really scrambling that much outside of the mature math projects for code?
