I can't quite figure out how to access optional programs using Sage.app. For example, if I start sage via the command line './sage-3.3.rc2/sage' and then fire up the notebook, I can access Octave and compute the eigenvalues of a random 5x5 matrix using something like the following %octave A = rand(5) eig(A)
If I type the same thing into a notebook opened via Sage.app, then sage claims it can't find octave. Of course, when I run from the command line, Sage inherits my PATH which includes /usr/local/bin, where my copy of Octave is located. This presumably does not happen when I run Sage.app. Is there an easy way for me to set my PATH or other environment variables from within the sage notebook? Is there a logical init file to edit in the Sage.app package to make this happen automatically?
