Hmm, any chance you have gnuplot installed on your system? There is an
issue when gnuplot is provided by Fink or MacPorts since it then links
to Apple's IOKit which also provides a libpng which has some renamed/
added symbols which do clash with Sage's libpng. Since
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is set by Sage in its env to pick up its own libpng
first things go boom, i.e. gnuplot should fail at start. The issue
with Sage's libpng and IOKit clashing will be fixed once and for all
in 3.3.rc1.
If you have gnuplot installed you might want to try to take it out of
$PATH to see if the problem goes away. There is also the chance that
clisp blows up - unfortunately clisp segfaulting or doing something
dumb has been the source of many problems with Maxima in Sage. Clisp
2.46 also still has the problem that if you have a file with umlauts
or accents, i.e. something not 7 bit ascii, in $HOME it will blow up
on startup. Oh well, insert rant about the state of OS lisp
implementations here, I have done it often enough :)

Interesting that the macro still refers to MACSYMA.
