Hmmm, I had 0 j...@muizenberg:~$grep CUR /usr/local/bin/sage CUR="/usr/local/src/sage-4.1.1/" # save the current directory, so can change back after startup if [ "x$CUR" = "x" ]; then export CUR 0 j...@muizenberg:~$ So for some reason CUR is set to explicitely set to what is my SAGE_ROOT early on. I believe that is some sed-ing that I did to set SAGE_ROOT during installs: sed -ie 's#="....."#="/usr/local/src/sage-4.1.1/"#' /usr/local/bin/sage Those are . which means any characte, not literal \. as I intended somewhere in my mind, so the `pwd` which is exactly 5 characters between apostrophes, matched it and got replaced. Anyway, I can and did change that back to `pwd`. My relative path problem is now fixed. 0 j...@muizenberg:~$sage ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Sage Version 4.1.1, Release Date: 2009-08-14 | | Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- pwd Loading Sage library.
