Dear Julien,

Thank you for trying Sage.  You appear to be using a rather old
version, and it is usually very easy to download a newer one.  Can you
give us some more specific information about what version it is, where
you downloaded it, what OS you are on, and so forth?

What seems to be happening is that there is a simplification called
which has done something grotesque, giving an error that usually
happens with unmatched parentheses and the like.  With more info, this
might help us track down why this is happening to you.

Also, if you can do

sage: 2+2
4

that is a good sign!  What happens if you do the following? (It should
bring up a new subprogram, which you can quit with Ctrl+D.)

sage: maxima_console()

Thanks, and hope we can help you!
