Hi, perhaps the following is helpful:
Quoting from the FAQs at http://wiki.sagemath.org/faq#Otherquestions : QUESTION: I downloaded a Sage binary and it crashes on startup with Illegal instruction. What can I do? ANSWER: Short answer: One way to fix this is to build Sage entirely from source. Another option is to fix your Sage installation by rebuilding MPIR and ATLAS by typing the following in the root of your Sage installation directory and wait about 15-20 minutes: rm spkg/installed/mpir* spkg/installed/atlas* make More explanation: The binaries have been built for a newer architecture than what you have. Nobody has yet figured out how to build Sage in such a way that MPIR and ATLAS work on all hardware. This will eventually get fixed. End quote. So, if the error you encountered with the other binaries, was of this form "Illegal instruction" it might be a good option to download the new binaries, and then perform the procedure describe as "another option" above (according to the explanation, this is much faster than a full build from source). Disclaimer: My knowledge of Sage is quite limited and I always built from source myself. Appologize in advance if this answer should not be a good one.
