----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Currently the Sage bash script on the Linux version (I can't speak for any
others) does not check OS architecture upon execution. Although not
necessary for running versions lower than the OS architecture, if it is
higher it will not run. The bash script should verify the architecture and
return an error if incorrect. It is relatively easy to fix, by appending
the following lines to the bash script:
{{{
SAGE_VERSION="x86_64" #Replace with specific Sage architecture for that
distribution
OS="`uname -m`" #Checks OS architecture
if [ "$OS" = "i386 (Or whatever OS equals on 32-bit machines)" ]; then
echo "**************************************************************"
echo " Error: Wrong OS architecture. Please download the 32-bit "
echo " version. "
echo "**************************************************************"
exit 1
fi
}}}
