...etc.

What command did you give that generated these? That is, did you get all 
the dependencies (and their dependencies) installed with no errors, and 
this is now what happens when you try the SA install ("make test" for SA)? 
I think that's what you're saying, but I'm not quite sure.

Do you / did you have a previous version of SA from another install, 
successful or unsuccessful?

I'm not sure I'll be able to help even knowing the answers to these 
questions, but they will be useful to anyone who can.
