This is likely a gonner. Downgrades don't work too well :(

Right now since the 3.1.4 spkgs have not been pushed out -upgrade
downgrades and likely breaks your build.

If you want to upgrade a build when the online repo is not pushed out
yet download the tar.gz and copy the new spkgs over the old ones in
spkg/standard - then run make again. But I agree with Alex that one
should only use upgrade when one is familiar enough with the Sage
build system to fix bugs :)

Sorry Martin, I completely missed the second sage: prompt in your original
email.

It's very likely that the problem is due to sage -upgrade.  I don't know
enough about these things to give you better advice than "start over with a
fresh download of Sage", and you've mentioned that this might not be an
option for a while.  Hopefully someone else on this list will know some
magic to fix this.

Note, however, that sage -upgrade is *not* recommended practice, precisely
because this sort of problem keeps popping up over and over again.
The recommended way of getting a new version is downloading the new binaries
or source.

Good luck,
Alex

I should have added: I did a sage -upgrade before.

Doing sage -upgrade again I now get:

Finished extraction
There is no spkg-install script, no setup.py, and no configure script,
so I do not know how to install
/home/martin/sage-3.1.1/spkg/standard/sage-3.1.2.spkg.
make: *** [installed/sage-3.1.2] Fehler 1
Command exited with non-zero status 2

please reread what I typed.  Yes I made this error, but after that, I used the
correct syntax.

The correct syntax is sin(x), not sin x.  And so the following works:

sage: plot(sin(x), (-1,1))

Best,
Alex
