Installing sage-2.8.13-osx10.4-i386-Darwin.tar.gz fails during
untar'ing, with the error

tar: sage-2.8.13-i386-Darwin/local/LIB: Cannot create symlink to
`lib': File exists

Subsequently running sage ends in all sorts of errors - so the missing
symlink is an issue.

This error occurs on an Intel MacPro, and also a PowerPC MacMini
(untar'ing only)

Installing the PowerPC version on the MacMini succeeds without error.
A problem with the tarball?

I'm going to have a play now. First opinions are good. I'm an
electronics engineer who occasionally has a need to wrangle some
simple maths. For heavy lifting I usually use MathCAD, but Sage seems
to handle most of my applications for MathCAD, plus I already use
Python. Good work guys - if this proves useful I'll look into ways for
us to contribute.
