Why the software does not work in Ubuntu and Fedora ?

I want to install Sagemath on Ubuntu , I download the binaries and extract it. But when I run sage by calling the command: sage , nothing happens. When I go to the Sage's folder and I click the Sage file, it opens with gedit. However, into the properties of the file, I clicked on the "Execution" box.

I am a new linux user. Using windows xp and vmware, I have no problem.

I also tried to install Sage on Fedora but there are the same problems.

Thank you for your help!

There should be a file named libcsage.so in the directory /home/oli/sage-5.9-linux-64bit-ubuntu_12.04.2_lts-x86_64-Linux/local/lib/. Do you see it ? For this, type:

ls ~/sage-5.9-linux-64bit-ubuntu_12.04.2_lts-x86_64-Linux/local/lib/libcsage.so

If ther is No such file or directory, could you unpack the tarball sage-5.9-linux-64bit-ubuntu_12.04.2_lts-x86_64-Linux.tar.lzma again, and see if there is some message, saying that the archive is incomplete or something like that.

tar xvf sage-5.9-linux-64bit-ubuntu_12.04.2_lts-x86_64-Linux.tar.lzma

If there is a complain, you should download the tarball again and check its integrity by typing:

md5sum sage-5.9-linux-64bit-ubuntu_12.04.2_lts-x86_64-Linux.tar.lzma

and compare with the corresponding line in this file

On Fedora >= 18 you just have to run

sudo yum install sagemath

A possible reason could be that the sage script is not in your path. Open a terminal, go to Sage's folder (using the command cd) and then type:

./sage

(notice the dot and the slash before the word sage). If this works, read this to understand what happened.
