Hi,
I just discovered Sage today.
Looks very promising! Until now I worked mainly with Maxima, Octave,
Gnuplot and the Emacs calc.
I work on Mac OS X 10.5.2 and copied the sage folder from sage-2.11-
osx10.5-intel-i386-Darwin.dmg to /Applications.
I think there's something wrong with this binary collection:
If I enter
sage: sin(pi)
in the interactive shell, there only appear - after a couple of
seconds - error messages. It looks like it can't start Maxima. Similar
error messages appear when I work in the notebook.
Best regards,
Samuel
