Questor, It looks like you have a permissions issue (perhaps among other things). Did you install it as a different user than you are running it as? If so you might be able to "fix" it by changing the owner to your user in info. i.e. Select the app in the Finder, "File" > "Get Info", then in the bottom section of the info window there should be a gear with which you can "Make USER (me) the owner".
Anyway, this bug is now tracked at http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/11755 In the end, it works for me (both terminal and notebook sessions) running it as the same user that I installed it. My other thought would be that you got a corrupted download. If you still have the disk image you can run md5 ~/Downloads/sage-4.7.1-OSX-64bit-10.6-x86_64-Darwin-app.dmg in a terminal (changing the path as needed). You should get 129a710a286da6d99e46fa2607512d95 as noted on http://boxen.math.washington.edu/sage/osx/intel/index.html. Hopefully those will solve your problem, but if not let us know. -Ivan On Aug 28, 2011, at 8:05 PM, Questor wrote: > menu "Terminal Session" > "Sage" gives > > /Applications/Sage-4.7.1-OSX-64bit-10.6.app/Contents/Resources/sage/ > sage; exit > % /Applications/Sage-4.7.1-OSX-64bit-10.6.app/Contents/Resources/sage/ > sage; exit > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > | Sage Version 4.7.1, Release Date: 2011-08-11 | > | Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information. | > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/Applications/Sage-4.7.1-OSX-64bit-10.6.app/Contents/Resources/ > sage/local/bin/sage-location", line 226, in <module> > if install_moved(): > File "/Applications/Sage-4.7.1-OSX-64bit-10.6.app/Contents/Resources/ > sage/local/bin/sage-location", line 77, in install_moved > write_location_file() > File "/Applications/Sage-4.7.1-OSX-64bit-10.6.app/Contents/Resources/ > sage/local/bin/sage-location", line 32, in write_location_file > O = open(location_file,'w') > IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Applications/Sage-4.7.1- > OSX-64bit-10.6.app/Contents/Resources/sage/local/lib/sage-current- > location.txt' > logout > > -- > To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support > URL: http://www.sagemath.org -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
