I currently have sage-4.2 installed on my lenovo netbook. In the past, I have been able to successfully install sage binaries, but the latest version 4.2.1 fails with the message
"ImportError: No module named _md5". Checking web for similar errors suggests that this may simply be a issue of the python module having been renamed from md5 to _md5. Information on the specific download, error message, and my machine data follow: DOWNLOAD: sage-4.2.1-ubuntu9.10-AtomN270-i686-Linux ERROR occurs during the initial load: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Sage Version 4.2.1, Release Date: 2009-11-14 | | Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Sage install tree may have moved.
