Hi Friends,

I have an iMac with an Intel Core 2 Duo. I downloaded 
Sage-4.7.1-OSX-64bit-10.6.app. When I tried to launch it I got the following 
message in the Terminal

Last login: Sun Oct 30 19:37:38 on ttys000
'/Applications/Sage-4.7.1-OSX-64bit-10.6.app/Contents/Resources/sage/'/sage 
--notebook
dorman-10136:~ dorman$ 
'/Applications/Sage-4.7.1-OSX-64bit-10.6.app/Contents/Resources/sage/'/sage 
--notebook
/Applications/Sage-4.7.1-OSX-64bit-10.6.app/Contents/Resources/sage/local/bin/sage-sage:
 line 607: sage-notebook: command not found
dorman-10136:~ dorman$


Then when I tried to connect to the notebook interface I got the message

Safari can’t open the page “http://localhost:8000/” because Safari can’t 
connect to the server “localhost”.

The log contents are

Apparently it can’t write to .sage. I have administrator access to the computer 
but not superuser privileges. Do I need to delete .sage? Do I need to have 
write privileges to .sage? What am I not understanding?

Thanks,
