The problem is that the machine that I have access to for building
that binary has a case sensitive filesystem. However, you (and most
people) don't. The only solution I can really think of is for us to
stop distributing a binary for that system, unfortunately.... unless
you can figure something out.
Probably it's "Singular" and "singular" -- if you can just overwrite
one file with the other it might work just fine. In fact, you might
want to try step 2 in the README:
** WARNING ** If you get an error copying the folder do the following:
Do not drag the the folder out of the dmg image. Use the
shell (via Terminal) and do a
"cp -R -P /Volumes/sage-2.9.2-OSX10.4-intel-i386-Darwin/sage ."
from the location where you want to install to. Adjust the name of the
Volume as needed.
