Dear Julien, Thank you for trying Sage. You appear to be using a rather old version, and it is usually very easy to download a newer one. Can you give us some more specific information about what version it is, where you downloaded it, what OS you are on, and so forth?
What seems to be happening is that there is a simplification called which has done something grotesque, giving an error that usually happens with unmatched parentheses and the like. With more info, this might help us track down why this is happening to you. Also, if you can do sage: 2+2 4 that is a good sign! What happens if you do the following? (It should bring up a new subprogram, which you can quit with Ctrl+D.) sage: maxima_console() Thanks, and hope we can help you! - kcrisman On Aug 4, 12:31 pm, julien <julien.d...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, I am completely new to Sage.. but I am so excited, it looks > like the ultimate tool !!! > Unfortunately, I have already big problems from the beginning... > > I cannot just plot x^2 .... > here is the kind of error I get .... > > any ideas ???? > thnaks so much for your help !! > Julien > -- 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 URL: http://www.sagemath.org
