Hello, John! Thank you for your answer! The problem is not me being unable to use sage (as reported in another mail I have downloaded and build sage-5.0.beta14 and it does not have this problem).
I was thinking that sage 4.8, when installed and used in the way I presented it (which looks pretty standard to me) does not work well. I have only reported this in hope that it may be usefull to developers track something that looks like a bug to me and, implicitly, I was offering my help, since I have a faulty installation that has this problem and may be examined. On the other hand I was reading [sage-release] yesterday (what a fun thing to do!) and I understand that 4.8 may be a burden for you right now, with all this rush to get 5.0 out.
