hi all,

I've downloaded the sage binary package for macos (dmg, 4.6.1) and moved the sage folder to the /Applications/ one. Every time I run sage, I have a problem with libgd/libiconv:

ImportError: dlopen(/Applications/sage/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sage/matrix/matrix_mod2_dense.so, 2): Symbol not found: _iconv Referenced from: /Applications/sage/local/lib//libgd.2.dylib Expected in: /opt/local/lib//libiconv.2.dylib in /Applications/sage/local/lib//libgd.2.dylib Error importing ipy_profile_sage - perhaps you should run %upgrade? WARNING: Loading of ipy_profile_sage failed.

But the /opt/local/lib//libiconv.2.dylib exists.

If I try to compile from the sources (make), I have plenty of such errors.

Is there any workaround ?

Just out of curiosity, what version/processor of Mac OS do you have? Probably this is irrelevant, but it's worth knowing.

Compiling from source should work, but let's see if we can get a binary install going first..

Sage shouldn't be getting confused by libraries in /opt/local. Could you check your environment variables, in particular anything ending with LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and make sure that /opt/local/lib isn't there by mistake?

I have /opt/local/lib/libiconv.2.dylib too, and managed to reproduce this error by typing (in bash)
