There were two independent problems: 1. the unix development tools on his mac were not up to date. 2. he had downloaded the wrong version 32bit version of sage and tried to rebuild it on his 64bit mac. Finally, it turned out that there is another problem, even after deleting everything and restarting from the beginning: He downloaded the 64bit version of sage, and then run # ./sage -combinat install it seems that rebuilding sage went well, but afterwards, hg detected "local changes" in devel/sage-combinat and stopped. Any suggestions?
