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.

Thanks tmonteil for your help! This is what gives the code: ./sage
