Dear Vincent, The output of $ ls -ld /home/a/.sage is drwx------ 7 root root 4096 jan 26 19:54 /home/a/.sage During the installation process I was following the steps described on the sage website <https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/installation/binary.html#linux>. If I remember correctly, I downloaded a .tar.bz2 file from the Italian server after choosing the 64-bit version. I unpacked the tarball in the /opt folder. I launched sage for the first time by going to the SageMath directory and typing ./sage to the command line. That was the first and also last time I managed to launch it (but then I yet didn't know I would have troubles in the future). Then, having a working SageMath directory in /opt, I deleted the .tar.bz2 file from /opt, and I typed to the terminal sudo ln -s /path/to/SageMath/sage /usr/local/bin/sage (where /path/to was the actual path) Afterwards I never managed to run sage again. I found this thread <https://ask.sagemath.org/question/42109/what-causes-sage-to-crash-as-it-starts/>, and taking its advice installed gfortran, but I am still not able to run sage. Thanks Aranka
