This was on an iMAC, OS 10.4.10. I went to Sage Free download MAC OSX INSTRUCTIONS.txt <- but the instructions here (dated 22 Aug 2007) did not work for me. I downloaded the sage gz file to my Desktop, then double-clicked it. This produced an error - it just failed after a while. I tried twice. Each time it failed.
But then I went to Documentation SAGE Installation Guide (PDF) which said to move the sage file to another directory (off the Desktop) and to run tar in a terminal window, and that worked! I'm just reporting what happened. I'm not looking for any reply. Things worked in the end!
