Hi there, I'd just like to echo both the advice and the solution! I've been having continual problems installing Sage on Ubuntu 10.04. I'll unzip it, the cd to the directory in which I've unzipped it, type "./sage" and spawn a whole slew of errors (of varying types, mostly "can't cd to /usr/lib" or some such...).
Finally tweaking on the "Sometimes programs like ark are the troublemakers" statement, I realized I'd been unzipping using File Roller. Tried the recommended "tar --lzma -xf sage-x.y.z-...tar.lzma" and now it seems to work like a charm! Thanks!
