[sage-support] sage 5.0 complaining about unsupported hash types

2012-06-11 Thread Chiel92
I just finished installing sage 5.0, but sadly I can't get it to work. It's complaining about unsupported hash types. I read on the internet there are more people having the problem. No solution found though. Any help is very much appreciated! I must mention that sage 4.8 has worked for me.

Had similar issue some time ago on my document build server. Most likely another sagetex.sty installed with texlive/package management? It's easy to check which file is used in TeX by doing kpsewhich sagetex.sty Another possibility is that you have to run texhash to make TeX update files it
