I am trying to run Sage 5.1 from a computer at work running Debian and it crashes right when starts up  ..

You're running an Ubuntu binary on a Debian system. I would not expect
this to work. Unfortunately we don't currently have a Debian build bot
to make binaries for Debian, so you will have to compile from source.

Did you build from source or download a binary?

The usual reccomenedation when people get problems is to build Sage
from source code. That normallly works without problems. You are
unlikely to need to install any other packages, as Sage comes with
most things included - even a compiler! (At leat I think the compiler
is included now - it certainly will be soon if it is not already)

GCC is currently included in Sage, though if the system has a native GCC
which is deemed sufficient for Sage's purposes, Sage doesn't install the
GCC it ships.

Thank you.

I have some older Sun hardware here (both x86 and SPARC). It will be
interesting to try Sage on them again, as it used to build and pass
all tests on both. One issue before was the need to install a more up
to date version of gcc. I'll give it a try some time.
