Sage creates shell scripts like this in /usr/local/bin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cat /usr/local/bin/maxima#!/bin/sh sage -maxima $*
What happens if I install some of these programs (such as Maxima, gap, R) directly (for example if I were to do a "yum install maxima") ? I'm assuming (perhaps I'm wrong) that this will put an actual maxima executable in /usr/local/bin/maxima. So, what I'm curious about, is whether those shell scripts that sage puts in /usr/local/bin are actually used by sage, or whether they are just a convenience in case someone wants to invoke one of those tools by name from the shell. I hope that question made sense. The immediate practical import is that I do actually want to do: "yum info maxima maxima-gui" and I'm unclear if this will "clash" with my sage installation.
