I have just installed sage and suffer this too. The problem affects more common things than only solving equations and diff/integrate. For example, I take a very simple example from sect. 4.2 of Sage Reference Manual:
sage: a,b,c=var('a,b,c') sage: qe=(a*x^2+b*x+c==0) sage: print qe and instead of 2 a x + b x + c == 0 I get ERROR: An unexpected error occurred while tokenizing input The following traceback may be corrupted or invalid The error message is: ('EOF in multi-line statement', (865, 0)) ERROR: An unexpected error occurred while tokenizing input The following traceback may be corrupted or invalid The error message is: ('EOF in multi-line statement', (387, 0)) ERROR: An unexpected error occurred while tokenizing input The following traceback may be corrupted or invalid The error message is: ('EOF in multi-line statement', (805, 0)) ERROR: An unexpected error occurred while tokenizing input The following traceback may be corrupted or invalid The error message is: ('EOF in multi-line statement', (785, 0)) and etc. And similar things occure for many other examples. Interesting that the following from "Sage constructions" works well: sage: R = PolynomialRing(QQ, 4, 'abcd', order='lp') sage: a,b,c,d = R.gens() sage: I = (a+b+c+d, a*b+a*d+b*c+c*d, a*b*c+a*b*d+a*c*d+b*c*d, a*b*c*d-1)*R; I Ideal (a + b + c + d, a*b + a*d + b*c + c*d, a*b*c + a*b*d + a*c*d + b*c*d, a*b*c*d - 1) of Multivariate Polynomial Ring in a, b, c, d over Rational Field sage: B = I.groebner_basis(); B [c^2*d^6 - c^2*d^2 - d^4 + 1, c^3*d^2 + c^2*d^3 - c - d, b*d^4 - b + d^5 - d, b*c - b*d + c^2*d^4 + c*d - 2*d^2, b^2 + 2*b*d + d^2, a + b + c + d] but when I add some extra variables (which should be treated as parameters), it crashes: sage: R = PolynomialRing(QQ, 4, 'abcd', order='lp') sage: a,b,c,d = R.gens() sage: p,q = var('p,q') sage: I = (a*p+b*q+c+d, a*b+a*d+b*c+c*d, a*b*c+a*b*d+a*c*d+b*c*d, a*b*c*d-1)*R Exception pexpect.EOF: EOF() in 'sage.structure.parent._unregister_pair' ignored Maxima crashed -- automatically restarting.
