Hi I installed 2.8.4.1-i686-ubuntu instead of 2.8-i686 on ubuntu feisty today. I install systemwide, as root:
cd /usr/local/src/ wget http://www.sagemath.org/SAGEbin/linux/32bit/sage-2.8.4.1-i686-ubuntu-Linux.tar.gz tar xvzf sage-2.8.4.1-i686-ubuntu-Linux.tar.gz cp sage-2.8.4.1-i686-Linux/sage /usr/local/bin/ sed -ie 's#="....."#="/usr/local/src/sage-2.8.4.1-i686-Linux/"#' /usr/local/bin/sage rm /usr/local/bin/sagee chmod a+r -R /usr/local/src/sage-2.8.4.1-i686-Linux/ Before this used to be fine. Now I have to run once as root to create SAGE_ROOT/tmp, and thereafter a normal user still cannot run notebook() 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$sage ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | SAGE Version 2.8.4.1, Release Date: 2007-09-09 | | Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sage: notebook() --------------------------------------------------------------------------- <type 'exceptions.IOError'> Traceback (most recent call last) /usr/local/src/sage-2.8.4.1-i686-Linux/<ipython console> in <module>() /usr/local/src/sage-2.8.4.1-i686-Linux/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sage/server/notebook/notebook_object.py in __call__(self, *args, **kwds) 120 """ 121 def __call__(self, *args, **kwds): --> 122 return self.notebook(*args, **kwds) 123 124 notebook = run_notebook.notebook_twisted /usr/local/src/sage-2.8.4.1-i686-Linux/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sage/server/notebook/run_notebook.py in notebook_twisted(self, directory, port, address, port_tries, secure, reset, accounts, server_pool, ulimit, timeout, open_viewer) 105 print "Updating to new format complete." 106 --> 107 nb.save() 108 del nb 109 /usr/local/src/sage-2.8.4.1-i686-Linux/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sage/server/notebook/notebook.py in save(self, filename) 1346 if not os.path.exists(D): 1347 os.makedirs(D) -> 1348 SageObject.save(self, F, compress=False) 1349 #print "Saved notebook to '%s'."%F 1350 #print "Press control-C to stop the notebook server." /usr/local/src/sage-2.8.4.1-i686-Linux/sage_object.pyx in sage_object.SageObject.save() <type 'exceptions.IOError'>: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/src/sage-2.8.4.1-i686-Linux/sage_notebook/nb.sobj' sage: regards, Jan -- .~. /V\ Jan Groenewald /( )\ www.aims.ac.za ^^-^^ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://sage.math.washington.edu/sage/ and http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
