No, that was the only sage on the system.

I haven't been able to track down the problem with compiling quite yet,
but I did figure out the problem with running the pre-compiled sage:

The error I got was 

$ sage
python: can't open file 'show-all-if-ambiguous': [Errno 2] No such file
or directory

So naturally I started digging through Sage's source for
show-all-if-amiguous.  I tried commenting/removing it whenever I found
it, but none of it helped.  I accidentally searched in my $HOME rather
than in Sage's source while trying this and noticed my .bashrc had
'set show-all-if-ambiguous'.  Removing that fixed it!  This is particularly
weird, as I don't use bash - I use zsh.  As far as I know that file was
sitting idly on disk, and I don't understand why Sage would parse it or
if it did why that line would be problematic.

Now that I've figured it out I've got the pre-compiled version of sage
running fine.  This may also be related to the problem with compiling,
but I haven't had a chance to test it out yet.

Should I file a bug report?
