That said, it would be good if Sage were to do some quick checks at startup and give more useful error messages. E.g., it could easily check that you're on a 64/32-bit computer that corresponds to the binary, and if not issue a helpful error message. Also, it could give a warning if the operating system doesn't match what the binary is for.
