(1) This newbee just installed Sage on Mac PPC OS X 10.4.11,
apparently successfully.
(2) I was able to start a notebook.
(3) I then opened the tutorial introduction and typed 2+2 in my
notebook and clicked on evaluate but got a RuntimeError instead of 4
(4) After I clicked to get the traceback I got what is below.
(5) Not only am I a newbee, I am totally computer code illiterate
(All I can do is write some mathematics in LaTeX) and the traceback
leaves me completely stumped.
Embarrassed regards
