 Hello,

Hi,

 I have installed Sage as root on iMac/Leopard 10.5.6 from sources
 using the normal procedure (tar, make, make test...). Everything looks
 ok. Sage was installed on /Applications/sage-3.4/. Using Sage as a
 normal user at Terminal:
 cd /Applications/sage-3.4
 ./sage

 OK! But... the command sage:maxima('3 + 4') gives several lines of
 error. The last line:
 TypeError: Unable to start maxima

Well, can you post the rest?

 Everything is ok if I run this command as root. This looks like a
 permission problem. Any light ?

Hmm, have you used Maxima before installing Sage? In that case check
for .maxima folder or something similar in the non-root user home
directory and rename them to get them out of the way. Another thing:
check for files or directories with non-7 bit ASCII names and move
them out of that users directory. It is an odd interaction between
clisp and the LANG env we set in Sage.

If that doesn't fix it I am not sure where to look next.

Can you start clisp, i.e. does !clisp work from Sage?

 Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Michael

The problem: I have a file with non-7 bit ASCII name. After rename it,
everything is working fine!

Thanks a lot for your time!
