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,
