Thanks a lot for the info, Minh! It's really very nice of yours to try to help. I visited the URL and read the contents. Well, what can I tell you... I don't see any more why Mac software (or so they say) should lead me to that typical overload of compiling, building packages and all similar unnecessary things for the user. I did it once for my postgresql but that was the first and the last time. When it comes to software from other people I am the user, not the developer. I thought that perhaps that error message "illegal instruction sage- ipython "$@" -i" from line 197 of the sage-sage file could be a hint for some easy tweak, but it seems that it isn't. A bit disappointed, since I was so happy that at last I could use good CAS-software as a big helper for dealing with problems of my everyday work for living, but this way it gets to a subject of study for itself and I already have enough problems here. In other words I didn't get a fridge in order to learn thermodynamics. ;-) So I assume that I'll have to wait until some reasonably installable package comes out. This one is definitely not the Apple way.
