I guess you got "just enough" of Sage to make it start up, but the are
certainly bits and pieces missing. What are you using to untar the
install files? In our experience only the command line works
reliably.

Does the md5sum of the binary you downloaded match?

afa4a6e82a87dcd877b2fc795692b670  sage-2.9-osx10.4-intel-i386-
Darwin.tar.gz
d442c41dc69395f57624d5ca52038072  sage-2.9-osx10.5-intel-i386-
Darwin.tar.gz

I think we should really just use a DMG to distribute Sage for OSX.
That would certainly eliminate most of the tar issues we have been
seeing repeatedly.

Probably.
