I wish. There are several components of Sage that don't build at all under 10.6. See http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/6849/. E.g., boehm gc doesn't, so ecl doesn't, so maxima doesn't. Also, R doesn't.

I have no idea. I don't remember ever seeing it before on OS X, as far as I can remember. I would like to see an *exactly* Terminal session from typing "sage" at the command prompt until getting that error. It could also be related to fink/Darwin Ports, or something else. Let's wait for way more necessary details from the user.
