Unfortunately, I use MacTeX/TeXLive, and so this doesn't quite work.
I made a symbolic link
ln -s /Applications/MathApps/sage/local/share/texmf/tex/generic/
sagetex generic/sagetex
but my tex still uses the sagetex in /usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-
dist/tex/latex/sagetex/sagetex.sty
and I'm not supposed to mess with that directory. Maybe if I put it
in /texmf/tex/latex instead? But that doesn't work either.
Any ideas?
