I have just downloaded and unpacked http://sage.apcocoa.org/linux/32bit/sage-3.1.2-debian32-intel-i686-Linux.tar.gz
The sage binary is now ~/software/lib/sage/sage and ~/software/bin/sage links to this place while ~/software/bin is in my PATH. Then I read ~/software/lib/sage/devel/sage-main/mercurial-howto.txt. In particular I found: ----- QUICK MERCURIAL FOR SAGE (Tutorial) I assume you've upgraded SAGE to version 1.3.7.3. Mercurial is then available by default. It's confusingly called hg (the chemical symbol for mercury) at the command line. Do "sage -hg" to run it, or make a link to SAGE_ROOT/local/bin/hg ----- So I issued ln -s ~/software/lib/sage/local/bin/hg ~/software/bin/hg Then running while running "sage -hg help" seems to work "hg help" gives ~/software/lib/sage>hg help Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/hemmecke/software/bin/hg", line 11, in ? from mercurial import demandimport; demandimport.enable() ImportError: No module named mercurial ~/software/lib/sage>type hg hg is hashed (/home/hemmecke/software/bin/hg) ----- I run debian etch and have not otherwise installed mercurial.
