pari spkg-configure.m4 should check gphelp more carefully

[mkoeppe]

Follow-up from #29319 for fedora-31-standard (https://github.com/mkoeppe/sage/runs/509417970) and likewise on fedora-32-standard:

Installing cypari-2.1.1
    Generating PARI functions: (!_) (#_) (%) (%#) (+_) (-_) CatalanCould not find translation file, docdir='/usr/bin' at /usr/bin/gphelp line 153.
    subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['gphelp', '-raw', 'Catalan']' returned non-zero exit status 2.

The branch is on top of #29319.

Depends on #29319

We have to be careful. My memory tells me cypari and gphelp -raw needs the documentation installed including the raw tex files - uncompressed. In the case of Catalan a run with strace tells me gphelp opens usersch3.tex.

Looks like this error was already discussed in #28242.

The problem on Fedora is that the docs are not installed by default:

# grep tsflags /etc/dnf/dnf.conf 
tsflags=nodocs

One needs to install using yum install pari-gp --setopt='tsflags='

@dimpase: This one also touches fedora - and is ready for review

[dimpase]

comment:13

it should be

+'pari-gp --setopt=tsflags='

not just

+pari-gp --setopt=tsflags=

to prevent bootstrap for pulling these two things apart.

[mkoeppe]

comment:14

That flag applies to the whole command line.

OK, this works, positive review.

The next obstacle on Fedora 31: there is no openblas.pc, and
so I cooked up one, put it somewhere, pointed PKG_CONFIG_PATH there,
then openblas is recognised along with R, gsl, etc, but make ends with

make[2]: Entering directory '/home/dima/sagetrac-mirror/build/make'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target '/home/dima/sagetrac-mirror/src/lib/pkgconfig/cblas.pc', needed by '/home/dima/sagetrac-mirror/local/lib/pkgconfig/cblas.pc'.  Stop.

Yes, the pkgconfig mess needs to be cleaned up. #29082
