Well, can you post the rest?

Hmm, have you used Maxima before installing Sage? In that case check
for .maxima folder or something similar in the non-root user home
directory and rename them to get them out of the way. Another thing:
check for files or directories with non-7 bit ASCII names and move
them out of that users directory. It is an odd interaction between
clisp and the LANG env we set in Sage.
If that doesn't fix it I am not sure where to look next.
Can you start clisp, i.e. does !clisp work from Sage?
