That's odd, it doesn't even give a location where the ) was
unexpectedly found. Was there any more output than that?

No that was it verbatim.  This is a 64 bit machine.  That is the only thing 
different I can see from what I've used before.

Did you install from source? Did you see it finish properly? Does it try to
continue building
if you type 'make' in $SAGE_ROOT again?

SOLVED...

I have 64 bit hardware but I installed 32 bit Ubuntu.  (Sorry, I'm a newbie 
to 64 bit stuff and didn't even know there was a separate Ubuntu flavor.)

When I installed the 32bit Sage binary it worked.  

One suggestion is to perhaps add a check to see if user trying to run the 
64 bit binary on a 32 bit Ubuntu install to give a less cryptic error 
message.

Hope that helps.

Sincerely,

CS
