 > Wait, but no, I don't have OS X 10.8, I have 10.6. And I built sage from
 the source on this computer.

 I was confused by seeing {{{uname -a --> Darwin
 dyn-72-33-202-250.uwnet.wisc.edu 10.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version}}}; I forgot
 how confusing OS X's versioning is -- "10.8" doesn't mean "10.8", it means
 "10.6", and I guess "12.x" would mean 10.8?

 Anyway, your problem is OS X 10.6.  With OS X 10.7, exactly the same
 version(s) of Sage work fine.  With 10.6, I also get the error's you're
 seeing.   There is a sage-devel thread called " OSX10.7 (Lion)'s blas is
 REALLY BUGGY: Fwd: cvxopt on MacOSX 10.7", which has quotes like "just
 wow.  So should we not trust matlab or mathematica on Lion either? ... you
 can't trust Apple's lapack/blas on OSX 10.6 either. Here is a short
 Fortran code calling blas, which crashes on 10.6 and 10.7

 And this has been known by Apple for years, apparently... Have they all
 but abandoned anything to do with high-performance computing?"

 I never do any serious research math computation using OS X.   Linux is
 much more reliable.
