I have a campus sage server setup in which I use the server_pool option. My sage directory is rw for the notebook server, but only readable for the server_pool users. I'm having a problem starting maxima from the server_pool users:

sageser...@sage:~$ ssh sa...@localhost # ssh into one of the server_pool users
sa...@sage:~$ ~sageserver/sage/sage -maxima
User  sage0
;;; Loading #P"/home/sageserver/sage/local/lib/ecl/defsystem.fas"
;;; Loading #P"/home/sageserver/sage/local/lib/ecl/cmp.fas"
;;; Loading #P"/home/sageserver/sage/local/lib/ecl/sysfun.lsp"
Maxima encountered a Lisp error:

 NIL is not of type (OR FILE-STREAM STRING PATHNAME).

Automatically continuing.
To enable the Lisp debugger set *debugger-hook* to nil.

THROW: The catch RETURN-FROM-DEBUGGER is undefined.
No restarts available.

Broken at MAXIMA-LISP-DEBUGGER.
File: "/home/sageserver/sage-4.5.2/spkg/build/maxima-5.20.1.p0/src/src/macsys.lisp" (Position #18281)
MAXIMA>>


Does anyone know where this problem might be coming from? Is it an issue with the sage directory being readable, but not writeable, by the server_pool users?

Of course, the problem with launching maxima means that Sage locks up when doing integrals, for example.

Thanks,

Jason
