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?
