Thanks a lot Dima,
Earlier today I checked more in the older discussions (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sage-devel/S5zQ5O7HBc0), and I found a message from leif: to delete the TOPCOM *spkg* in /Applications/sage/upstream/, and instead place http://www.sagemath.org/packages/upstream/topcom/topcom-0.17.4.tar.bz2 and afterwards retry 'sage -i topcom' This solved the problem. So, your indication was in the right path. Thanks a again!
