Create the run_sage bash script:
export SAGE_ROOT=/home/ondra/ext/sage export SAGE_LOCAL=$SAGE_ROOT/local export DOT_SAGE=~/.sage/ export PATH=$SAGE_ROOT/local/bin:$PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$SAGE_ROOT/local/lib/openmpi:$SAGE_ROOT/local/lib/:" export PYTHONPATH="$SAGE_ROOT/local/bin:$SAGE_ROOT/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c8-py2.5.egg:$SAGE_ROOT/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/SQLAlchemy-0.4.3-py2.5.egg:$SAGE_ROOT/local/bin:$SAGE_ROOT/local/lib/python:$SAGE_ROOT/local/lib/python25.zip:$SAGE_ROOT/local/lib/python2.5/plat-linux2:$SAGE_ROOT/local/lib/python2.5/lib-tk:$SAGE_ROOT/local/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload:$SAGE_ROOT/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages:$SAGE_ROOT/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/IPython/Extensions" ipython
