I think this is a problem with the binary not being supported
on your machine.  In fact, I just tried installing the binary
on my Opteron machine and it doesn't work either.  Even started
SAGE doesn't work:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/incoming/bin/linux/64bit/sage-2.7.3-x86_64-Linux$ ./sage
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| SAGE Version 2.7.3, Release Date: 2007-08-02                       |
| Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information.        |

Illegal instruction

I thought that code built on an Intel x86_64 machine (Xeon)
would also work on an opteron x86_64 machine, but evidently
that is very much not the case.  I will have to build binaries
both for Intel and Opteron x86_64.  I've started an opteron
binary building, and will post it at sagemath.org when it finishes.

Thanks for reporting this problem.

All this "building SAGE binaries" stuff is starting to get
complicated to do entirely by myself.  Would anybody like to
volunteer to help out?  Labor, hardware, and clever technical
solutions are all appreciated.
