1) what sage version?
1.5.0.2
2) did you install or upgrade to get to this version?
I installed, which is to say I downloaded the above-mentioned tarball and unpacked it.
3) look in 'install.log' and see what the result of the maxima installation really was (it precedes "genus2reduction-0.3" for sage 1.5). Find the 'sage-spkg' line for maxima, and then find the next 'sage-spkg' line. The stuff preceding this latter line should tell you what happened to maxima.
At this point I'm confused because the tarball was advertised as a pre-built binary for OS X. All the instructions at http://sage.math.washington.edu/SAGEbin/apple_osx/ (which seems to be offline now) mention are unpacking the tarball, and sage itself does work without running the makefile. So there was no install.log to speak of. In the interest of getting an install.log, I ran the makefile, but it crapped out at a not very interesting part, since sage.math.washington.edu is offiline: <beginning excerpt of install.log> Deleting directories from past builds of previous/current versions of sage-1.5.0.2 Extracting package /Users/ageller/Documents/school/sage-1.5.0.2-PowerMacintosh-Darwin/spkg/standard/sage-1.5.0.2.spkg ... -rw-r--r-- 1 ageller ageller 107 Dec 14 10:56 /Users/ageller/Documents/school/sage-1.5.0.2-PowerMacintosh- Darwin/spkg/standard/sage-1.5.0.2.spkg Finished extraction sage: After decompressing the directory sage-1.5.0.2 does not exist This means that the corresponding .spkg needs to be downloaded again. http://sage.math.washington.edu/sage//packages/optional/sage-1.5.0.2.spkg --> sage-1.5.0.2.spkg ...

Thanks alot for your time and help.
