 Hi Johan,

  Can you give a little more detail? By sheer accident it was just

 Well, this is exactly what I've done:
 0) ssh to the server as a normal user.
 1) download 
 sage-3.4.1-linux-Debian_GNU_Linux_5.0_lenny-sse2-x86_64-Linux.tar.gz
 from France mirror
 2) decompress it (tar xzf)
 3) cd sage-3.4.1-linux-Debian_GNU_Linux_5.0_lenny-sse2-x86_64-Linux
 4) ./sage

 Ok. Does gap start by itself, i.e. ./sage -gap?

 What more detail can I give you?

 I don't think so... AFAIK, I didn't run sage from a chroot env. But I
 don't know if 'pty dev filesystem' was mounted. What should I do to
 verify this?

 Please post the output of mount. I am not sure what else related to
 xen could be a factor here.

And I try to run Sage from /users/asspro

 Have you used and/or installed another version of GAP independently of Sage?

No.

 Is there any Sage release that ever worked on your platform?

No (I've tried since Sage-3.2.3)

 /local or some other *non*-NSF local partition?

Gonzalo had the exact same problem about GAP not starting up when he
was playing around with a Debian chroot env and it turned out that he
needed to mount devpts. According to the output above that (pseudo)
filesystem is not mounted, so before trying anything else I would
recommend to mount it. The kernel might or might not support it out of
the box (since it is a Debian kernel it should). devpts should be
mounted by udev it seems per default, but check out

   http://linux.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/comp.os.linux.setup/2005-03/0473.html

on how to mount it.  If this turns out to the cause it seems well
worth an entry in the FAQ as well as README.txt since this is a rather
obscure problem. Even adding a check in Sage somewhere to verify that
the devpts is mounted on startup of Sage might be worth it.

Michael
