Then I'm REALLY glad we are changing the README in the next release! That file just gives a hypothetical name for the release so we didn't have to change it every time, incidentally. So you are saying you have the 10.6 DMG and it's throwing this error on a Snow Leopard machine? Assuming you didn't do anything weird to your Xcode (and don't have Macports/Fink), you could really just download the source and build it, of course. The .sage/ directory should be in your top level home directory. If you open Terminal, and do ls -a .sage/ you'll either get an error if it doesn't exist, or it will list things for you. You are correct that the error looks like you need to allow Sage to change the permissions. It sounds like you already know how to do this, so I would at least try chmod on that directory, which should be small if you haven't used Sage much yet. Do you have unusually strict permissions set up? - kcrisman -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
