As original creator of this thread, I followed the process described below. I confirm that the original problem I reported has been resolved; sage 5.0 is now usable for my projects. Thank you Dima and all of the other team members who contributed to this solution! Jim Clark On May 19, 2012, at 6

OSX 10.6.*-era hardware is weird. Some of it is 32-bit only, some of it can run both kernels (when you boot you need to press a combination of keys on the keyboard), some of it is 64-bit. All of them "can" run 64-bit applications, but I guess this "can" must be taken with a pinch of salt... I ha
