Dear William,

Hello!  I'm not sure if you remember me from grad school--if not, my
apologies for the familiarity.

I'm delighted by your development of SAGE; this is truly a wonderful
service to the mathematical community.  My department has made
extensive
use of Maple in undergraduate courses, and many students are rightly
upset that they can't use those worksheets from their home computers
without buying Maple.  When I've learned SAGE better I hope to migrate
many (or at least some) of these Maple materials to SAGE.

I'm sorry to bother you about this, but I'm having a problem
installing
version 2.8.10 of SAGE on my laptop (Mac OS X 10.4.10 with a PowerPC
G4
CPU).  When I tried to upgrade from a previous (working) version of
SAGE, I got a strange traceback, so I removed the old directory and
installed SAGE 2.8.10 from source.  The installation appeared
successful
(I've copied the install.log file to

  http://euler.slu.edu/Dept/Faculty/marks/install.log

in case it's informative); however, SAGE won't run (I've copied the
details of the traceback to

  http://euler.slu.edu/Dept/Faculty/marks/sage_error_message.txt

in case that is informative).  Have I done something stupid, and is it
corrigible?

Best regards,
Greg
