This is absolutely a bug specific to OSX, version 10.14, "Mojave". I mentioned in the link that I included above (a problem running Sage on MacOS 10.14, Mojave <https://ask.sagemath.org/question/44117/problem-running-sage-on-macos-1014-mojave/>) that : I recently installed sage-8.4.rc1-OSX_10.13.6_x86_64.app on my Mac and ran > it under macOS 10.13, High Sierra with no problems.

I have now downloaded and installed the Sage binary, sage-8.4-OSX_10.13.6-x86_64.dmg, and it seems to work just fine. It is only the app.dmg version that won't run. I have always just used the double-clickable app, and I had forgotten that it was possible to invoke the classic notebook from the Sage command line. This also seems to work. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
