Thanks. This version of sage worked fine for all the things I wanted to do till today; I'll get the latest version immediately. In case your questions were not merely rhetorical: I did see that warning message, but since what I was doing was graphical (i.e. numerical) and it refers to symbolic computations, and since I did many symbolic computations successfully in spite of that message, I have grown used to ignoring that message.
