This is a biginner question. I am running sage on a PC runing debian. I am not able to get the emacs support to work. I would really love to work within emacs. I copied the sage.elc file in a directory called .emacs-scripts, and added the following lines in my .emacs as instructed on the sage website. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ;; support for sage/python/pyrex (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "/home/chandu/.emacs- scripts/"))
(load "pyrex-mode") (load "python-mode") (setq ipython-command "/usr/local/bin/sage") ;; depends on where your sage is. (load "/usr/local/bin/sage") (require 'ipython) (fset 'py-shell-fullscreen [?\M-x ?p ?y ?- ?s ?h ?e ?l ?l return ?\C-x ?1]) (define-key esc-map "i" 'py-shell-fullscreen) (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.pyx\\'" . pyrex-mode) auto-mode- alist)) (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.pxd\\'" . pyrex-mode) auto-mode- alist)) (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.pxi\\'" . python-mode) auto-mode- alist)) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I get the following errors when I run emacs. Loading pyrex-mode (source)... Loading derived...done Loading pyrex-mode (source)...done Loading python- mode...done Loading /usr/local/bin/ sage... An error has occurred while loading `/home/ chandu/.emacs': Invalid read syntax: "#" To ensure normal operation, you should investigate the cause of the error in your initialization file and remove it. Start Emacs with the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I don't see a # anywhere in my .emacs file. Also, I do not get these errors if I omit the above sage related part from my .emacs. I would appreciate help with this. I am not too familiar with such systems, and have just begun using maxima (from sage) for a problem, and I am liking it. Our department's system administrators have installed sage on a server now, and I hope others will start using it as well. Thank you, Bhalchandra D.
