Did you download the binary or the source? To compile the source, take a look at http://www.sagemath.org/doc/installation/source.html#steps-to-install-from-source
As it says, you need some packages that aren't installed in Ubuntu by default. You can do the following from the command line or install them using Synaptic: sudo apt-get install gcc-4.2-base # or the latest version available sudo apt-get install make sudo apt-get install m4 sudo apt-get install bison sudo apt-get install flex sudo apt-get install tar sudo apt-get install perl sudo apt-get install binutils sudo apt-get install libstdc++6-dev sudo apt-get install g++ sudo apt-get install openssh-client -M.
