Hi,

As discussed in 
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sage-release/yzb7O3o-kNQ/dSbHre1yBQAJ
the current Sage 6.10 binary for Ubuntu 15.10 suffers from the fact that 
the file
SageMath/local/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 mismatches the system version of 
libstdc++.so.6
(6.0.20 against 6.0.21). 

The consequences of this are pretty severe:
1/ ./sage -n jupyter fails to open a notebook in the browser 
2/ no plot is produced from sage terminal, e.g.
sage: plot(sin(x), 0, 1) 
fails silently !

Since Ubuntu 15.10 is the latest version of the most popular Linux 
distribution, more and more users start to complain:
see these posts:

http://ask.sagemath.org/question/32151/how-to-produce-graphics-from-cli/

I've prepared a fix, in the form of a new version of the file 
sage-6.10-Ubuntu_15.10-x86_64.tar.bz2, which can be downloaded from
https://upload.obspm.fr/get?k=2FUh4BTyHprQk8jTfrS
md5sum: f3cdb32bc5438ded8590c3c8cce9e716
The above tar file differs from the original one by only a change in one 
symlink: 
SageMath/local/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 -> 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
instead of 
SageMath/local/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 -> 
SageMath/local/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.20
This is the solution suggested by Robert Samal in 
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sage-support/yAsyKA-pA4M/iwWRRS9KCgAJ
I've tested the new tar file and it works well on my Ubuntu 15.10 computer. 
Since /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 is part of the basic install 
of Ubuntu 15.10 (i.e. g++ is installed by default), I think this should 
work for any user. So, could you please replace the tar.bz2 file on the 
servers by the above one ? 

Best wishes,

Eric.
