The problem is that emacs cannot be started due to library issues:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set to include SAGE_LOCAL/lib, consequently some
system libraries aren't linked, but the Sage version which can produce
and doesd produce problems like the one you experince. That issue is
described in trac ticket #975, but in your particular case even the
work-around described there doesn't work.
One way to fix this in your particular case is to write a small script
that does "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=" before starting emacs. Let me know
if you need some more info on that and I will send you some example
script.
