Thanks, Ivan! This looks like a monstrous improvement on the surface. Thanks so much for your hard work. I hope my notes below help debug it even more. I encourage others to try this out; unfortunately, I had some difficulties using it, but that may be atypical. - kcrisman First feedback: Looks nice, does take a little while to start but of course one has all the options. Not quite sure why it starts with a web browser going to sagemath.org - what if someone isn't on the internet when they start the program? >From still within its own /Volume, I tried it first. Starting a Sage terminal from the drop-down menu doesn't seem to work properly IOError: [Errno 30] Read-only file system: '/Volumes/SageApp/Sage.app/ Contents/Resources/sage/local/lib/libcdd.la' it also opened a second empty Terminal window. And you still have to close it when you're done :) Trying to start the server also didn't seem to work. Then I tried to copy it to my Desktop/ and it complained that there was another file named Sage (which there isn't, but there are several that begin with Sage or sage). So I made another folder to put it in, copied it there. The same thing happened, even though that folder was otherwise empty - message "You can’t copy “Sage” because it has the same name as another item on the destination volume, and that volume doesn’t distinguish between upper- and lowercase letters in filenames" so I'm not sure what to do next. Weirdly, it copied a lot - about half - maybe through /local/bin but quit in the middle of that, and did not copy the actual ./sage script. So I trashed that, and tried opening the application from the disk image again. I went to Start Server... and then went to open Notebook, but it just went to http://localhost:8000/ but never actually showed anything. Or maybe I wasn't patient enough, as the README implies? -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
