I have a MathBook XML script that calls sage to build diagrams for a book,
and I would be able to call sage from any directory.  The correct way to do
this would be to make a symbolic link.  However, I get the following:

ln -s /Applications/SageMath-6.10.app/Contents/Resources/sage/sage
/usr/local/bin/sage
ln: /usr/local/bin/sage: File exists

The existing link is

sage -> /Applications/sage/sage

Of course I can remove the link, but I am not sure what the side effects
would be, if any.  Any ideas?


The side effects would be that if you type `sage` it would
use /Applications/SageMath-6.10.app/Contents/Resources/sage/sage instead
of /Applications/sage/sage. :)  That’s pretty much it.  In other words Sage
doesn’t rely on that symlink, it's purely for your convenience.
