Is there something about Maxima in Sage 2.5.x? I have tried to use it
(in the Mac PowerPC pre-compiled versions) to no effect in both x=0
and x=3. Here are some commands and their results. Needless to say,
I have had no luck trying to do something as intense as
differentiating - it just generates a longer traceback.
I assume the problem lies with myself/my computer, not Sage (unless
Sage is having trouble accessing certain of its packages/documents,
see PS), but I'm stumped as to why it can't start Maxima when the
other packages seem to be fine. Thanks for any help.

<type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: Unable to start maxima (maxima failed
to start during this SAGE session; not attempting to start again)
PS Also seem to be some other issues with getting code via ? and/or ??
(relevant error:
411 if defln:
--> 412 out.write(header('Definition:\t')
+self.format(defln))
generating
<type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'NoneType'
objects) but my guess is that whatever the underlying problem is
likely will fix both; in both cases Sage/Ipython seems to be having
trouble finding or starting certain components of itself.
