Sage 4.8 Won't Run on Scientific Linux 6.2

[rvau...@gmail.com]

When I run sage 4.8 I get this:

======================================================
ImportError: libcsage.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Error importing ipy_profile_sage - perhaps you should run %upgrade?
WARNING: Loading of ipy_profile_sage failed.

<ERROR: name 'sage_prompt' is not defined>
======================================================

Suggestions?
What is libcsage?  Where do I find it?

Thanks,

Try moving any old ~/.sage directories out of the way:

> mv ~/.sage ~/.sage.BAK
> sage

Benjamin:

Thanks for the suggestion.  Here's what happened.

As root, I moved /root/.sage /root/.sage_save_0411.

Then I ran "./sage" from the 4.8 directory and got:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Sage Version 4.8, Release Date: 2012-01-20                         |
| Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information.        |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
python: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /root/sage                                                           /sage-4.8-linux-64bit-fedora_release_16_verne_-x86_64-Linux/local/lib/libpython2                                                           .6.so.1.0)

So it got past the libcsage problem, but now it's complaining
about GLIBC_2.14.

When I do "rpm -qa | grep glibc", I get:
glibc-2.5-81.el5_8.1.i686
glibc-2.5-81.el5_8.1.x86_64
glibc-devel-2.5-81.el5_8.1.i386
glibc-devel-2.5-81.el5_8.1.x86_64
glibc-common-2.5-81.el5_8.1.x86_64
glibc-headers-2.5-81.el5_8.1.x86_64
glibc-utils-2.5-81.el5_8.1.x86_64

So it's looking for a glibc earlier/older than what I have now?
Or is GLIBC_2.14 a different thing than glibc-2.5-81?

Thanks,
-Richard

Scientific linux is based off Redhat enterprise. Fedora is generally newer and more cutting edge. New libraries get tested in Fedora and then make their way to RHEL/SL. In your case, your glibc is too old for the binaries you are using. And we don't have SL/RHEL binaries as far as I know. Your easiest recourse is to compile Sage from source. It is easy and fun, give it a try!

Thanks, Volker.
When I run a "make" from within the 4.8 sage directory....

"Installing c_lib

You need to download the Sage sources, not the (Fedora) binary distribution.

I think you should either compile from source, or you could try the ubuntu version, which works for me. My OS is Fedora12, the versions of the software of this OS are similar to those of Scientific Linux 6.

Just compile Sage from source, I have it successfully running on SL 6.2 perfectly.
