All you do is 

  tar xvf sage-2.2.tar
  cd sage-2.2
  make

and you're done.  Or you can wait for a binary that I'll be
posting within the next few days.

No it won't.  SAGE is 100% self contained.  It doesn't touch your
system-wide Singular, PARI, GAP, etc.  It builds entirely in the
directory where you extract it, and to install you just copy the
"sage" script from sage-2.2 (say), to /usr/local/bin (say), and
change the SAGE_ROOT line.
