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).
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

Does running Sage (without trying to install
sage-mode) work okay?Yes, haven't noticed problems with anything else.
