Perhaps you did not have all the dependencies needed to build and run sage.

Try

sudo apt-get install build-essential gfortran dpkg-dev make m4 perl
tarbinutils xz-lzma texlive-latex-recommended dvipng imagemagick ffmpeg

Then go in to the sage directory and type make again.

The PPA might take a few days at least, a few weeks at most.

Regards,
Jan
