Install sage in mac os 10.6.8

edit

What happens if you open a Terminal window (it's in Utilities) and do the following command?

/Users/fernandocukierman/Desktop/Sage-4.7.1-OSX-64bit-10.6.app/Contents/Resources/sage/sage

This should start a command-line session.

Update after feedback:

Okay, it sounds like you do not have permissions for some reason. It's trying to set up your .sage folder, and your system is not allowing this. Can you now try the following, then try everything again?

1. Open Terminal
2. Do chmod a+w .sage/ (I think this is correct syntax)
3. Try starting Sage from command line
4. If all goes well, try the app again

Double-clicking the app doesn't work at all on Mac OSX 1.6.x. Using the command line doesn't work either: sage: notebook()
