ok, I've tried out the instructions. [1] On the desktop, the binary file downloaded and expanded ok, but I get (different from before) error messages when I run ./sage [screenful reproduced below].
[2] On the laptop, there is no longer enough room even to expand the binary file, because of the 400MB debris left by the failed attempt to compile from source. If I could only know what it has installed on to the disk, I would like to remove it. (The failed compile attempt was made in a branch directory off 'home'. The total extra disk utilization after the compile attempt was about 800 MB more than at the start. About 400MB of that was in the subdirectory where the compile was done. I've now deleted that. But there remains an extra 400MB somewhere unidentified. Any ideas on where to look would be appreciated.) ------ [1a] Here are the error messages from trying to use the unpacked binary. (At first run, there were some initial messages, reporting an attempt to relocate some (? .py and .tpo ?) files. The screen reproduced below is from a subsequent attempt to run ./sage .) The linux setup already includes the package 'libstdc++6-4.1.2-1mdv2007.1.i586' among others. Any help would be appreciated.
