L.S., When updating to Sage 3.1.2 I run into the following problem:
Am using a Mac G4 dual core, OSX 10.4.11. Used a previous version of Sage without apparent problems. Updating to 3.1.2 however was not without hickups: copying Sage with the finder resulted in error messages that duplicate names were not allowed. Removing all visible traces of Sage from /Applications and then installing with Terminal (sudo cp -R -P "/Volumes/sage-3.1.2-osx10.4- ppc-PowerMacintosh-Darwin/" . inside the Applications folder) appeared to work fine. Starting Sage however resulted in the following: /Users/arnold>cd "/Applications/sage" ; "/Applications/sage/sage" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | SAGE Version 3.1.2, Release Date: 2008-09-19 | | Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The SAGE install tree may have moved. Regenerating Python.pyo and .pyc files that hardcode the install PATH (please wait at most a few minutes)... Please do not interrupt this. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Applications/sage/local/bin/sage-location", line 71, in <module> update_library_files(R) File "/Applications/sage/local/bin/sage-location", line 39, in update_library_files open(LIB + F,'w').write(H) IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Applications/sage/local/lib/ libfplll.la' sage: Typing "notebook()" gives me a list of previous notebooks; when I open one, type a new line and ask to evaluate nothing happens. The error message at startup never occurred before. What am I doing wrong?
