sage-mode installation

I'm new to sage, and trying to set up sage_mode with emacs. As suggested here, I run "sage -i sage_mode" to install it. This gives the error message

mkdir: cannot create directory ‘’: No such file or directory /usr/bin/sage: line 766: /usr/build/pipestatus: No such file or directory

Googling this doesn't seem to turn up anything relevant. Any suggestions? I'm running the build from the Arch Linux repos (64 bit).

Does running Sage (without trying to install sage-mode) work okay?

Yes, haven't noticed problems with anything else.

You can't use sage -i if you install Sage from the repos. Either you build and install sage yourself (and then you can install optional packages with sage -i) or you install it from the repos, and then you also have to install optional packages with pacman (currently there is no sage_mode PKGBUILD, you would have to create one yourself)

I guess I've been out of the loop for a while with respect to Sage packaging. What's pacman, and how to I make sage_mode installable with sage -i?

@Ivan Andrus: pacman is the archlinux package manager.

You could try installing the latest spkg from bit bucket:

sage -i https://bitbucket.org/gvol/sage-mode/downloads/sage_mode-20150707.spkg
