No matter what, with any version of Sage, you would have to run it once as root (or whatever user owns those files) the first time because the Sage install tree has moved and many files that hardcode directory paths have to be updated. That tmp directory is created then. That said, in this particular case creating the tmp directory in SAGE_ROOT is now totally unnecessary so I've removed the code that does this (for the next release). > and thereafter a normal user still cannot run notebook() > This is actually an unrelated issue. A user must have write permissions to the *current* directory to run the notebook, since it stores its state files in the current directory.
