Can anyone tell me how I'm supposed to use sympow, as the instructions at

http://www.sagemath.org/doc/reference/sage/lfunctions/sympow.html

don't seem to be working for me, even on sage.math. I notice the examples are marked as "not tested". Some examples need new data files added, and the web page tells one how to add the data files, but even after adding them, which appears to work (no errors), some of the examples don't work.

"Inertia Group is C1 MULTIPLICATIVE REDUCTION\nConductor is 11\n**ERROR** P02L not found in param_data file\nIt can be added with './sympow -new_data 2'"
sage: sympow('-new_data 2')
'Make data for  symmetric power 2'
sage: a = sympow.L(EllipticCurve('11a'), 2, 16); a

I guess this is a silly question, but is there any chance the functionality of sympow is duplicated in other parts of Sage? It's not functioning poperly on Solaris on the x86 processor, and inspection of the source code shows it is not valid C. My attempts to convert it to what the author may have intended to write have not been successful.
