OK, I did
yum search gfortran*
which returned
gcc-gfortran
so I did
yum install gcc-fortran
which installed a number of things including libgfortran
However, when I use a shell to enter the sage directory (that I renamed
sage431) created from extracting the lzma file to my Desktop directory
in my /home directory and execute
./sage
I get a welcome message like:
******************************************************
Sage Version 4.3.1, Release Date: 2010-01-20
Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information
******************************************************
/home/shadowfax/Desktop/sage431/local/bin/python:
/home/shadowfax/Desktop/sage431/local/bin/python:
cannot execute binary file
So, what now?

One thing comes to mind. The download page (Harvard?) said
something
about apt-getting gfortran before running SAGE. Well, that's a
Debian
command, so I tried "yum install gfortran" but Fedora didn't find
it.
I was hoping that gfortran was only needed when compiling from
source,
not when running the binaries....
You need probably:
Name : gcc-gfortran
[...]
Name : libgfortran
[...]
Description: This package contains Fortran shared library which is
needed to run
: Fortran dynamically linked programs.

You also need the C and C++ libraries. It is not just the fortran
libraries.
People probably get away without having them, as they will have gcc
installed,
which includes those libraries. This is risky if their gcc version is
older.
I installed
http://t2nb.math.washington.edu:8000/
as a 'zone' in Solaris. The default zone is to include only the bare
minium of
the operating system. I have purposely not installed gcc in the zone.
As soon as Sage starts, it will fail due to the lack of C/C++ libraries.
I included the C, C++ and Fortran libraries in the binary I put on 't2'
at
/usr/local/sage-4.3.0.1-Solaris-10-SPARC-sun4u-or-sun4v/sage
Using LZMA compression, the binary is only 300 MB. The libraries don't
add a lot
overall to Sage, but should make it more reliable, especially if
someone is not
running the latest versions of everything.
