[PROBLEM] I cannot run sage
Akshay Pande
I recently installed sage (atom) and am running it on a netbook (eeePC
900HA) on Ubuntu Hardy. My problem is that whenever I run sage from
the installed folder I get the following output
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Sage Version 4.3.2, Release Date: 2010-02-06 |
| Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information. |

Error importing ipy_profile_sage - perhaps you should run %upgrade?
WARNING: Loading of ipy_profile_sage failed.
Then I reach the SAGE prompt. I tried %upgrade but that didn't solve
the problem. Please help.

Did you download a binary for Sage, or did you download the source
code and build Sage from source? I suspect you downloaded the binary,
but I may be wrong.
Your system either lacks libstdc++.so.6, or its in a place which can't
be found. This is the C++ library that is used as part of gcc. I've
proposed before that this be included in the Sage distribution, though
whether it actually is done so I don't know.
What is the output of
$ g++ -v
$ which g++
If g++ is not installed on your system (unlikely but possible), then
you will need to install that.
I'd have a hunt around your system, and see if you can find a file
which at least starts with libstdc++. If you can find libstdc++.so,
then copy it to $SAGE_ROOT/local/lib. I would not advise putting it in
/usr/lib, despite the error message.

Make sure that the version of ubuntu is compiled for the atom and not the i386 version.

I installed sage from a binary version. I indeed did not have g++
installed. But when I tried to install it via synaptic I got the
following error
W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-libc-dev_2.6.24-26.64_i386.deb
404 Not Found
This is a broken package or something I guess which is causing a
hindrance in installing g++. Is there a way to alternatively install g+
+, without synaptic?
Dear Dan
Oh that might be a problem too. I have the normal Ubuntu Hardy, not
UNR. But I'm running Adam's kernel on it, which effectively should
bring it to the same thing.

My Guess is that your kernel is built for the i386, so if you have unlimited download then I would try the i386 version. Just for the record I have the eeepc 1000ha with ubuntu 9.10 net remix (atom version) and sage 4.3.1 (atom version) and that works perfectly. Just for the record the UNR (9.10) is available in i386 and atom (and possibly more (amd-x68?)).
Now there is no guarantee that will work as I have used linux long enough now to understand that although something will work on one version of a distro it is not necessarily going to work on another version.

Do you have the log which you got when you built without g++ installed? I would
really like to see that, as it will help me enhance the check for Sage's
prerequisites so that the problem is more obvious and does not result in a
misleading error message.
If you restart the build, the file install.log get appended to, so it will not
have overwritten anything. It's the output of the following bits I'd like to see:

Isnt that the idea behind a binary version - that you dont have to build it yourself?
Or am i missing something.

My apologies. There was another thread where someone posted the output of
prereq's configure script. That showed an error which looked to be g++ related.
I had obviously confused the two threads.
