jan, thank you for your reply. before you did however, i compiled sage from source and it has since worked fine. however, towards your suggestion i have tried to, i think, redefine the path variable (?) so that whenever i type sage in my terminal it would open sage. right now, i have to cd directories and type the command ./sage. no big deal, not a real problem. but i did want to take your advice so that i could just type sage and call it up from any directory. so i followed your advice, copied and pasted and these were the results; mike@mike-1001PX:~$ echo "alias sage=$HOME/sage/sage-5.11-linux-32bit-ubuntu_13.04-i686-Linux/sage" >> ~/.bashrc mike@mike-1001PX:~$ source ~/.bashrc mike@mike-1001PX:~$ ./sage bash: ./sage: No such file or directory mike@mike-1001PX:~$ alias sage=$HOME/sage/sage-5.11-linux-32bit-ubuntu_13.04-i686-Linux/sage mike@mike-1001PX:~$ source ~/.bashrc mike@mike-1001PX:~$ sage bash: /home/mike/sage/sage-5.11-linux-32bit-ubuntu_13.04-i686-Linux/sage: No such file or directory mike@mike-1001PX:~$ ./sage bash: ./sage: No such file or directory mike@mike-1001PX:~$ sage bash: /home/mike/sage/sage-5.11-linux-32bit-ubuntu_13.04-i686-Linux/sage: No such file or directory mike@mike-1001PX:~$ echo "alias sage=$HOME/sage/sage-5.11-linux-32bit-ubuntu_13.04-i686-Linux/sage" >> ~/.bashrc mike@mike-1001PX:~$ source ~/.bashrc mike@mike-1001PX:~$ mike@mike-1001PX:~$ sage bash: /home/mike/sage/sage-5.11-linux-32bit-ubuntu_13.04-i686-Linux/sage: No such file or directory mike@mike-1001PX:~$ ./sage bash: ./sage: No such file or directory mike@mike-1001PX:~$ /.sage bash: /.sage: No such file or directory so what am i doing wrong? thanks in advance > > ^^-^^ > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
