I should read more carefully. You already wrote: "then I realized I should add sage to $PATH, So this is what I did: which sage Output: /usr/bin/sage sudo ln -s /usr/bin/sage /usr/local/bin/" So you made that symlink yourself, and that's where the problems started. /usr/bin should already be on your $PATH or else most of your system wouldn't be working in the first place. I don't think this was your original problem. I can't see clearly what the original problem would have been, except that maybe you were using an outdated version of the texmacs plugin, as Samuel pointed out. So again, I stress, start by undoing anything you did involving moving files into /usr/local because I have a feeling that you're only going to have more problems down the line as a result of that.... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
