Dear all, I just compiled sage from source (since the binary did not work for me) in ubuntu 11.04 (in particular, lubuntu). I followed the instructions and the compilation seemed to be successful. Also I set the permissions correctly. However, when I run sage, I get a long message, which I attach below.
Do you have any suggestions what causes that problem? Many thanks in advance! I copy/paste the error message: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- tzanakis@turing:/opt/sage4.7$ ./sage ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Sage Version 4.7, Release Date: 2011-05-23 | | Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- OSError Traceback (most recent call last) /opt/sage4.7/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/IPython/ipmaker.pyc in force_import(modname) 64 reload(sys.modules[modname]) 65 else: ---> 66 __import__(modname) 67 68 /opt/sage4.7/local/bin/ipy_profile_sage.py in <module>() 5 preparser(True) 6 ----> 7 import sage.all_cmdline 8 sage.all_cmdline._init_cmdline(globals()) 9 /opt/sage4.7/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sage/all_cmdline.py in <module>() 12 try: 13 ---> 14 from sage.all import * 15 from sage.calculus.predefined import x 16 preparser(on=True) /opt/sage4.7/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sage/all.py in <module>() 326 # Cache the contents of star imports. 327 import sage.misc.lazy_import --> 328 sage.misc.lazy_import.save_cache_file() 329 330 /opt/sage4.7/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sage/misc/lazy_import.so in sage.misc.lazy_import.save_cache_file (sage/misc/lazy_import.c:4398)() /opt/sage4.7/local/lib/python/shutil.pyc in move(src, dst) 262 rmtree(src) 263 else: --> 264 copy2(src, real_dst) 265 os.unlink(src) 266 /opt/sage4.7/local/lib/python/shutil.pyc in copy2(src, dst) 98 dst = os.path.join(dst, os.path.basename(src)) 99 copyfile(src, dst) --> 100 copystat(src, dst) 101 102 def ignore_patterns(*patterns): /opt/sage4.7/local/lib/python/shutil.pyc in copystat(src, dst) 71 mode = stat.S_IMODE(st.st_mode) 72 if hasattr(os, 'utime'): ---> 73 os.utime(dst, (st.st_atime, st.st_mtime)) 74 if hasattr(os, 'chmod'): 75 os.chmod(dst, mode) OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/home/tzanakis/.sage/_opt_sage4.7_devel_sage-main-lazy_import_cache.pickle' Error importing ipy_profile_sage - perhaps you should run %upgrade?
