Thanks for the answer, I downloaded the new version on the website (version 4.5) and I followed this tutorial : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SAGE unfortunately I have still problems :
(I guess I will try to compile it myself, is there any clear tutorial to do that ?) Just for info: here is the problems I have : thanks!
