I don't think there's much we can do about this. Cantor already tries to locate your Sage installation by looking at your $PATH. If it isn't found in there you have to configure it yourself, we can't anticipate were every distribution might install sage to. You should probably take this path to your distribution's bugtracker, and tell them to set things up correctly. |
Created attachment 59115 [details] Screenshot of Cantor backend selector without Sage. Version: unspecified OS: Linux I recently installed cantor, cantor-backend-kalgebra, cantor-backend-maxima and cantor-backend-sage on my computer using Ubuntu Software Centre on Ubuntu 10.10. I want to use the Sage backend, but it doesn't automatically appear. (screenshot attached). I know if you change your preferences and track down the location of some files on your system, you can get it to work. Ideally however, you should just be able to install from the repositories and get everything to work seamlessly. Reproducible: Didn't try OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.35-28-generic Compiler: cc Ubuntu 10.10 (Not Kubuntu)
