SageTeX has two parts: a TeX part and a Python/Sage part. Both TeX and Sage need to find the correct file. TeX and Python look in totally different places for files, so to use SageTeX you must simultaneously please both systems. On Unixy systems, I think it's common for TeX distributions (well...TeXLive at any rate) to look in your home directory for a texmf/ tree. If you put files there, I *think* they'll be found automatically...I also do "texhash $HOME/texmf" which creates an ls-R file; then certainly the files will be found. Inside the texmf directory, I have a typical TeX directory tree hierarchy; I don't know if that's necessary. > > > now I'm working in my directory, but if copy /usr/share/texmf/tex/ > > > latex/sage/sagetex.py in my directory all work.

Running `texhash' as root with the proper options should fix that, although I would avoid dropping single files into such directories; they're likely to be overwritten during an upgrade. I've tried to include logic in SageTeX so that things are automatically found, but haven't found anything satisfactory yet.
