Thank you so much for your help. I uninstalled the packages from
ubuntu and just reinstalled from the download from the site.
Thankfully someone in my department was able to help me install things
and get it fixed up, it not only runs faster but the plotting now
works, so I think their is either an error in the files on the ubuntu
servers or this version (3.0.5) pre-dates what I thought it could do,
since I have been running sage on my mac since march or so, much more
recent version.
Thanks again for your help!
