I don't know the problem. An obvious thought: I guess you know you have amd64 bit ubuntu installed as opposed to 32 bit? This wasn't clear from your email.
Also, one website suggested that notebook has an (intel) centrino chip, not the amd64 bit chip the binary I think is built for. I could easily be wrong but maybe that is related to your problem? Can you try compiling from source? http://www.sagemath.org/doc/inst/node5.html On Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 10:40 AM, down quark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello everyone, I want to use sage for my differential equations > course, but I can't get it to run. > > I downloaded "sage-3.1.2-ubuntu-64bit-opteron-x86_64-Linux.tar.gz" > from sagemath.org.
