Disclaimer: I'm a newbie to sage but I've been programming in linux for a few years.
I downloaded sage-2.8.12-sage.math.washington.edu-64bit-x86_64- Linux.tar.gz from http://www.sagemath.org/SAGEbin/linux/64bit/ I ran tar -xzvf <filename> I tried to run the example by typing ./sage example.sage And got an error message that I put at the bottom of this note. I think I have fixed the issue by making a soft link from libgslcblas.so. 0 in the directory: sage-2.8.12-sage.math.washington.edu-64bit-x86_64-Linux/local/lib/ by typing: ln -s libgslcblas.so.0 libcblas.so.3 The issue is particularly nasty as it means that when I open sage in command line mode it doesn't see many command line functions, for example "quit"... so I can get to the sage command line but then it spits out lots of exceptions if I try to do anything and I have to quit the shell session to leave. I am running Suse Linux 10.0 Apologies if this is a known issue or I'm just doing something thick.
