Hi, I've installed the app (4.7.2) on my Mac (OS 10.6.8). When I launch the app I have the following error. Could someone provide me a simple fix please? (I'm really not fluent with the Unix commands...).

Thank you in advance.

Here is what have in the Terminal console:

Sage Version 4.7.2, Release Date: 2011-10-29                       
Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information.

I had this same problem when trying to run Sage. My problem arose because the standard OS X python is being called instead of Sage's python, because the install script puts the path to Sage's executables AFTER /usr/bin/ in the $PATH variable.

My work-around was to open a new terminal window and enter the following two lines:

export PATH=/Applications/Sage-4.7.2-OSX-64bit-10.6.app/Contents/Resources/:$PATH
'/Applications/Sage-4.7.2-OSX-64bit-10.6.app/Contents/Resources/sage/'/sage --notebook

This presumes you are running BASH, which is what recent versions of OS X use by default, and that you are running the Sage-4.7.2-OSX-64bit-10.6.app version of Sage; change the path to your Sage installation if you are using a different version. (I got the idea to do this from this posting on a mailing list.)

If PATH is setup incorrectly, that is a huge bug in Sage. Did you build your own or use a prebuilt binary? What does `/Applications/Sage-4.7.2-OSX-64bit-10.6.app/Contents/Resources/sage/sage -c "print os.getenv('PATH')"` show?

As noted in @LDCruise's answer, this won't work. Try `.../sage -sh` then `env | grep SAGE` and `echo $PATH`.

Georg S. Weber found a problem with the app which is being tracked as ticket #12161. Hopefully this is your problem since we have a fix for it. :-) The problem should only manifest itself if you have not successfully run (a sufficiently new version of) the Sage notebook before. One way to work around it is to start Terminal.app _before_ running Sage. To be more precise:

Quit Sage.app and Terminal.app if they are open.
Start Terminal.app (located at /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app)
Start Sage.app
A new window should open in Terminal.app and ask you for a password for the notebook

At the very least this might be @lharris's problem.

There is a new 4.8 binary up which was jury-rigged to fix this problem. When you try to download it from a mirror it will be called `...-app.p0.dmg`, otherwise it's the old one.

I'm having the same problem. Changing the $PATH as suggested above didn't help. Entered

/Applications/Sage-4.7.2-OSX-64bit-10.6.app/Contents/Resources/sage/sage -c "print os.getenv('PATH')"

as suggested above, and got this error:

    Traceback (most recent call last):

  Reason: no suitable image found.  Did find:
    /usr/local/lib/libcsage.dylib: stat() failed with errno=13

Has anyone had any luck using the 4.7 version, or the 32 bit version?

The fact that I see `/Users/buildbot/build/` in the backtrace makes me think that Sage didn't get properly relocated. The first time it runs it will spend quite a long time changing certain paths. I don't know all the details, but it warns not to be interrupted. If it did I think it would end up with something like the above. Did you perchance force quit it the first time it ran or something? Or perhaps it crashed. Anyway, one thing you could try is deleting the app and then "re-installing" from the disk image. That should reset where it thinks it is and run the relocation process.

I'm having the same problem. When I entered /Applications/Sage-4.7.2-OSX-64bit-10.6.app/Contents/Resources/sage/sage -c "print os.getenv('PATH')"

I get

Sorry. I don't know why I thought that `sage -c` would work since sage can't start up. What you should try is `.../sage -sh` then `env | grep SAGE` and `echo $PATH`.
