Interesting! I just tried to do the same but it didn't resolve the problem for me. One question: did you download sage-4.8-linux-64bit-ubuntu_10.04.3_lts-x86_64-Linux.tar.lzma? (That's what I did, but I notice there's also a file with "8.04.4" in the name.) Thanks!

Yes, this is what I downloaded: sage-4.8-linux-64bit-ubuntu_10.04.3_lts-x86_64-Linux.tar.lzma

I'm having this same problem trying to run sage in a clean install of 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04. (Prior to this new install I was running 32-bit Ubuntu 11.10 and was able to run sage with no problems.)

Hello,

It looks like I'm having the same problem (and I'm adding to this post in case it's helpful to know that this might be a wider issue -- maybe with 12.04?).

I made a clean install of 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 then downloaded and unpacked the 64-bit sage binaries. Ran ./sage from within the sage directory and got this traceback:


Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/sage/sage-4.8-linux-64bit-ubuntu_10.04.3_lts-x86_64-Linux/local/bin/sage-ipython", line 18, in <module> import IPython File "/opt/sage/sage-4.8-linux-64bit-ubuntu_10.04.3_lts-x86_64-Linux/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/IPython/__init__.py", line 58, in <module> __import__(name,glob,loc,[]) File "/opt/sage/sage-4.8-linux-64bit-ubuntu_10.04.3_lts-x86_64-Linux/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/IPython/ipstruct.py", line 17, in <module> from IPython.genutils import list2dict2 File "/opt/sage/sage-4.8-linux-64bit-ubuntu_10.04.3_lts-x86_64-Linux/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/IPython/genutils.py", line 53, in <module> from IPython.external.path import path File "/opt/sage/sage-4.8-linux-64bit-ubuntu_10.04.3_lts-x86_64-Linux/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/IPython/external/path.py", line 35, in <module> import md5 File "/opt/sage/sage-4.8-linux-64bit-ubuntu_10.04.3_lts-x86_64-Linux/local/lib/python/md5.py", line 10, in <module> from hashlib import md5 File "/opt/sage/sage-4.8-linux-64bit-ubuntu_10.04.3_lts-x86_64-Linux/local/lib/python/hashlib.py", line 136, in <module> md5 = __get_builtin_constructor('md5') File "/opt/sage/sage-4.8-linux-64bit-ubuntu_10.04.3_lts-x86_64-Linux/local/lib/python/hashlib.py", line 63, in __get_builtin_constructor import _md5 ImportError: No module named _md5


Prior to this new install I was running 32-bit Ubuntu 11.10 and was able to run sage with no problems.

Thanks!
