this points to a (small) problem with the binary installation. In fact, Sage does have a runtime dependency on libfortran, see here http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/installation/source.html#fortran-and-compiler-suites for details. Somehow it did not get packaged into the binary. You can try to install libfortran on your box and see if this helps.
