I was attempting to convince my calculus students this morning in class to play with Sage when doing their homework instead of using Wolfram|Alpha all the time. However, this failed miserably because maxima wasn't working on sagenb.org (at least it wasn't around 10:30 AM EST and it still isn't working as I type this email). When I entered stuff like
integral(x*e^(-x),x) I got an error message about maxima: Traceback (click to the left of this block for traceback) ... TypeError: Unable to start maxima because the command 'maxima-noreadline --userdir="/tmp/sagenbws/maxima" -p "/usr/local/sage2/local/bin/sage-maxima.lisp"' failed. Is this a problem on my end or is something up with sagenb.org? Thanks.
