Thank you all for your responses.
Doing soime googling around, I discovered that that openSuSE 11.1 has the same problem with evince I encountered. I followed William's advice above and, before firing up sage (as a normal user), I exported the SAGE-BROWSER environment variable as /opt/kde3/kdvi (I have not upgraded to KDE4 yet). My example above worked fine now, but plots did not work. So, I shut down sage, exported SAGE-BROWSER as '/usr/ bin/firefox', and now Firefox either plots the ****SAGE**** plots directly or, in the case of the example above with the Laplace transform, prompts me what program to use, I respond with '/opt/kde3/ kdvi', and kdvi displays the formula correctly. HOWEVER, matplotlib plots show as Line2D(_line1). For example, sage: import pylab sage: import scipy sage: import scipy.special as special sage: x=scipy.linspace(0.0r,5.0r) sage: show(pylab.plot(special.airy(x)[0],color='red')) This brings up firefox (as per the SAGE-BROWSER environment variable above), firefox asks me if it should use kdvi, I reply in the affirmative, and kdvi pops up a window saying "SAGE" and "Line2D (_line1)" (without the quotes! In prior versions of sage, I had no problems displaying matplotlib plots. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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 -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
