Thanks for your detailed answer. However my problem is not yet solved. I 
noticed that by using the command 
sudo mount -v -o remount,rw /dev/shm
I got the desired result (so that response of "mount | grep shm" is "tmpfs 
on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)"); unfortunately this modification goes away on 
reboot. After reboot I tried to build sage by make command and again got 
the same error as in my first post. I repeated sudo mount command as you 
suggested and without reboot, tried "make" command. This time some error 
message was there with suggestion that I use command ./sage -ba  which I 
did. The command worked apparently without problem and the last three lines 
reported were:

I thought that sage was installed without problem but when tried the 
command ./sage the response was:

I have not done anything after this. What would you suggest me to do?
