Hi,
I make most of the Sage binaries. Very recently things changed so that I do
not have access to any OS X 10.4 powerpc machines. As a result other people
besides me have made that binary, and it doesn't work (since their machines
have evidently various extra libraries installed in /usr/local/, etc., which you
don't have). Your options:
1. Wait until I get access to an OS X 10.4 powerpc build machine, which
could be a very long time, or never.
2. Upgrade to OS X 10.5 if your computer supports that
-- 10.5 is pretty nice, and costs less than Mathematica :-).
Then use the OS X 10.5 binaries, which works fine.
3. Post the full error message that you get above; just
"click to the left for traceback". Then the person that build the binary
can probably provide the missing files.
4. There are two OS X ppc binaries at
http://sagemath.org/SAGEbin/apple_osx/powerpc/
Which one did you use? Maybe the other one will work for you?
Please report back ASAP either way. I would like to remove whichever
one doesn't work. (Again, I have *no* access to any OS X 10.4 ppc
machines, so I can't even do testing.)
5. You could build from source. You would have to install XCode (free
from Apple), then download the file listed at the top of the long list here:
http://sagemath.org/dist/src/
(currently sage-3.0.1.tar)
type
tar xvf sage-3.0.1.tar
cd sage-3.0.1
make
Then wait about 3 hours.
