ah, this is it. See, i've installed mac os x instead of ubuntu (i had
ubuntu alone on my macbook, originally), so i had to format the whole
ext3 filesystem and OS X asked if i wanted the thing to be case-
sensitive. I thought hey, it'll be closer to unix if it is. Poor
choice...

so i went to /Applications/sage/local and went

ln -s lib LIB

It works now ! thanks !
i'm worried though : is this thing going to haunt me every time i
upgrade ??? and how come the bug does not show up on linux FS, which
are case-sensitive ?

cheers
