I finally got Sage.app working. Still there seems something a bit odd about the fix. I had, in my home directory, a .maxima directory with a file named maxima-init.mac that sets certain maxima preferences. Once I deleted this file, everything worked fine. As I understand it though, the sage directory is supposed to be independent of the rest of the system. Evidently, the latest version of sage is reading information from my home directory. My old sage (v3.0.1) runs fine without removing the file, however.
The two lines in the maxima-init file were exactly the following: set_plot_option([gnuplot_term, aqua]); set_plot_option([gnuplot_pipes_term, aqua]); Of course, now I can no longer plot from my standalone copy of maxima. :) One final comment: George's patch was unnecessary. I hope I didn't send you on a wild goose chase.
