There are known problems with Sage on Lion, but the Sage binary compiled for Snow Leopard (Mac OS 10.6) has been reported to work on Lion.

However, there may be an incompatibility with the .app wrapper instead of the underlying Sage program . . . can you let us know the result of opening Sage on the command line? Try opening the Terminal (Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal) and pasting in the following:

/Applications/Sage-4.7.1-OSX-64bit-10.6.app/Contents/Resources/sage/sage

Does that give you a "sage:" prompt, or result in more errors?

Updates: Ok; @jholtzman, it looks like you are having trouble with iPython; I'm not sure why. Which version of Sage did you install?

@Louisa Grey, it looks like you're getting the expected output; does the notebook start when you type "notebook()" at the "sage:" prompt? If so, I would say that Sage is working, but the .app wrapper is not.
