sage.math has unfortunately crashed, so you need to download the package from a mirror site. A list can by found at: http://sage.apcocoa.org/mirrors.html But I am not sure how you can get Sage to select a mirror. > Please see http://www.sagemath.org//packages for a list of valid packages > /usr/local/sage-2.8.2-debian32-i686-Linux/spkg/build > bunzip2: Can't open input file gmp-4.2.1.p8.spkg: No such file or directory. > tar: gmp-4.2.1.p8.spkg: Cannot open: No such file or directory > tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now > Second download resulted in a corrupted package. > make: *** [installed/gmp-4.2.1.p8] Error 1 > > I had a similar experience on a 64 bit machine. > Yep, no spkg, no build.
