Hi! First: Have you checked, if the files that sage says are missing are really missing. It could also be that something wasn't correct with unpacking. Sometimes programs like ark are the troublemakers.
second: I'm Ubuntu user myself and personally would recommend to build sage from source. I had trobules with the binaries myself some times. building from source caused never trouble for me. There is a nice HowTo on ubuntu forums how to to do it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1382405 The disadvantage of course is, that this take some time (approximately 3 hours) but then is also ensured that everything fits for your machine. Pros and Cons like always in life =) On Sep 28, 6:05 am, obrintpas <nmw_...@ymail.com> wrote: > Hi List, > could someone please help a newbie who has problems running sage? > After unpacking the standard 4.5.3 package for 64bit ubuntu linux, i > get the following error when trying to run sage from the terminal.
