there is a problem with your toolchain, apparently:

Hello,
I downloaded the sage 5.0.1 package
after extracting the archive, and typing "make" I receive the following error:

system details:
Kubuntu 12.04, 64 bit intel Centrino processor, 4GB RAM

I have gone through the install guide (www.sagemath.org/doc/installation/source.html) and made sure all prerequisites are in place, hovever I did receive the error "Unable to locate package xdvi" but as I understand it, this is a secondary utility only.

I have tried setting SAGE_INSTALL_GCC=no

any assistance is appreciated

Thanks Dima,

It looks like you are right on. I'm including a few details in case any one else comes here with the same problem.

According to the bug report, the problem is fixed in binutils - 2.21... I am using 2.22. incorrect fix, regression?

A work around is given, set environment variable

LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu

but for a 64 bit system

LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

 The workaround as given in the linked bug report does need to be modified for a 64

This is the *binary* distribution. If you want to build Sage yourself,
use the *source* distribution:

http://www.sagemath.org/download-source.html

Make sure you have gcc, g++, gfortran, m4, dpkg-dev installed.

Hi

If you do not wish to build from source, you can use a PPA which packages the binary
for (K)Ubuntu 12.04.

sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:aims/sagemath
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sagemath-upstream-binary

This has the advantage of being updated for you via the distribution's package manager.

Regards,
Jan

if I am using a term incorrectly, I apologize. I downloaded that file, read the
readme file, issued the make command as instructed in that file, and found the
problems with the solutions mentioned in the previously in this thread.

and to Jan Groenewald, Thank you for your point about the PPA, Unfortunately I
noticed this as well, just after I got the install to work. : (
having said that, some sources indicated that this particular bug also affect
packages installed this way. I guess I should reinstall using the PPA to test,
but I don't know if I will.

Thank you all for your help.

Did it work?

I'm sorry for any confusion. I consider the issue resolved. The post you
replied to is a part of a follow-up discussion on a couple of fine details. If
