I installed sage-3.2 from source on an Ubuntu machine, and when I do
$./sage -optional

I get the error below.  I can download directly (using a browser for
example) and install the downloaded packages.  This is on my home
network where I have never had a problem using macs.  Changing the
SAGE_SERVER variable doesn't help.  Anyway here is the error:

Using SAGE Server http://www.sagemath.org//packages
http://www.sagemath.org//packages/optional/list --> /home/pmc/m/
sage-3.2/tmp/list
[Errno socket error] (-2, 'Name or service not known')

********************************************************************************

Error contacting http://www.sagemath.org//packages/optional/list. Try
using an alternative server.
For example, from the bash prompt try typing

   export SAGE_SERVER=http://sage.scipy.org/sage/

then try again.
