Did you install Sage through apt or Synaptic? If so, you should know that the version of Sage available in Ubuntu does not pass doctests, so it's somewhat pointless to even run the tests. The way that tests are normally run is by going to the root directory of the Sage installation and running "make test" or "make testlong". In the packaged version of Sage that you installed, however, there probably is no such directory. > And when I try to use the plot functions, it seems that jsMath is not > installed or something with that is messed up. This is a different problem and I'm not sure what to do about this. There might be a jsmath package you can install to help, although perhaps that got pulled in by Sage's dependencies.
