Dear Sage team,

in reply to myself, in the hope to clearify things:

I mean: saying "./sage -notebook", i got a lot of error messages and
eventually an "Unhandled SIGSEGV".

See http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/SimonKing/nb_error.txt

Here, i successfully did "./sage" and successfully defined a 3d-
object, but i couldn't show it:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
| SAGE Version 2.10.1.alpha1, Release Date: 2008-01-21               |
| Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information.        |
----------------------------------------------------------------------

sage: import sage.plot.plot3d.all as p
sage: S=p.sphere(color='red')
sage: S
// No picture was showing up!

sage: S.show()
// again, nothing happened.
sage: S.__str__()
'Graphics3d Object'
// so S is what it should be
sage: 2+2
4
// At least there is *something* going in a good way :-)

I told myself that providing install.log can't hurt -- the built was
successful, but perhaps there is a hint in the install.log about the
other problems. See 
http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/SimonKing/install.log.gz,
which is the install log for alpha1.

By the way:
uname -a says
  Linux mpc739 2.6.18.8-0.3-default #1 SMP Tue Apr 17 08:42:35 UTC
2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
and i use
  gcc (GCC) 4.2.1

Yours
   Simon
