I had the same : the Ubuntu package sagemath is buggy. Go there http://www.sagemath.fr/linux/32bit/index.html and download the archive for you. Just unpack it and ./sage launches Sage. I unpacked in ~/Sage. The following link is cool : ln -s ~/Sage/sage /usr/bin/sage What is now tricky is to be able to use your own python modules in Sage because Sage mess up $PYTHONPATH. My modules are in $HOME/script/modules. What I did is to add the following in .bashrc : export SAGE_ROOT=$HOME/Sage export PYTHONPATH=$SAGE_ROOT/local/lib/python/modules export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/script/modules export SAGE_PATH=$PYTHONPATH and then, I creates links to the Sage module repertory : for f in `ls --color=never ~/script/modules/*.py`;do ln $f $PYTHONPATH;done I really hates to install something otherwise than via the package manager :( Have a nice day Laurent --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
