Thanks so much for the quick help !!! I am running sage on ubuntu, First I downloaded the version from the package installer in ubuntu. (Synaptic package manager, package sage) and because I had troubles, i decided to download the lastes version for ubuntu on the website of sage. (but I am not so sure which of the two versions I am actually running now, I guess the second one, if i did the install procedure correctly [I copied the directory in /opt/ nad then made a symbolic link with the ln command])
but still the same problem. it appears to be version 3.0.5, see bellow also the test. (I can do 2+2, and start a maxima console I can even plot a circle actually) jul...@harvardo:~$ sage ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | SAGE Version 3.0.5, Release Date: 2008-07-11 | | Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sage: sage: sage: 2+2 4 sage: maxima_console() Maxima 5.17.1 http://maxima.sourceforge.net Using Lisp GNU Common Lisp (GCL) GCL 2.6.7 (aka GCL) Distributed under the GNU Public License.
