"ImportError: No module named IPython.core.interactiveshell" after installation

[Ogami Itto]

Hi all,

I have Ubuntu 15.10 as shown below:

$   lsb_release -a



I downloaded sage-7.2-Ubuntu_15.10-i686.tar.bz2
I verified it with md5sum.

I unzipped it with: tar xvjf sage...

I ran it with:
cd sageMath
./sage

And it produced the following message, at the end:



I repeated the process and managed to reproduce the same error twice.

The machine is a genuine Intel CPU double-core U4100 @ 1.30GHz, with 2 GB RAM.

Any help is welcome.
Thanks.

Do you have non-ascii characters in your username (which you conveniently wiped from the images...) ?

Hi Dima,

Thanks for answering.
No, it's just my real given name, using letters from [a-z] without spaces, that I removed for privacy reasons.
Thanks.

Is your OS 32-bit?

Please post the output of 'uname -a'

You are trying to use a 32-bit (i686 indicates this) binary Sage distribution; I guess it won't work on a 64-bit OS.

You have a rather old CPU, and we hardly test on them any more.

I'd recommend building Sage from source; this might be much quicker than trying to sort out

what exactly is wrong with the binary.

the output of uname -a is:



Thanks.

OK, so indeed you have a 32-bit system. Anyhow, chances are that your only solution would be to build from source.

Hi Dima,

Thank you for your time and effort. I really appreciate them.
I'll try to build from source and I'll report later any findings.
Thanks again.
