[Axiom-developer] RE: Tests of sage.

[Bill Page]

Francois,

Thank you for testing this.

I have been able to reproduce this problem. The same thing
happens to me. I am looking into the problem and I will let
you know a solution soon.

Regards,
Bill Page.

What version of Sage did you download? As far as I can see the
most recent version of Sage (version 2.0) is "only" about 88 Mb.

http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/dist/src/index.html

or

http://sage.scipy.org/sage/dist/src/index.html

I just finished downloading, untar and make of Sage-2.0 on a
OpenSuSE 10.2 linux system.

On my system I have Axiom built from a recent version of the
build-improvements branch.

Make sure to press Shift+Enter to execute the contents of
the bluebox.

I have very similar problems. But if I only enter Sage
commands, everything seems to work. If I try Axiom commands
then it fails. I see an error traceback in the Sage session
log. These same commands work properly on the Sage server
which is apparently running the same version of Sage but a
different version of Axiom.

Use Shift+Enter to execute a cell.

I think you are doing everything correct. There seems to be
some problem with Sage and/or Axiom. I recall that I had some
problem with readline when I first tested this and I am quite
sure that the 'axiom4sage-0.1.spkg' that is used on the Sage
server was built using gcl with readline disabled. I will
check this and get back to you.
