This time I did the whole build in /usr/local as root so had to change permissions later (and for this extra optional install). Incidentally, where in the installation manual (in section 3.2.1 System-wide install) it says to do chmod a+r -R /usr/local/sage-1.2.0 I would recommend instead chmod a+rX -R /usr/local/sage-1.2.0 -- where the X (in upper case!) means to add x permission to all where it exists for the owner but not otherwise. Which is usually what you want.
