Hello all,
When the sage interpreter starts, it creates a database to store the command history for the session. The problem is the files are being named with a long string of weird “?” characters followed by "(invalid encoding)". The first time I enter a command, it complains:
The history saving thread hit an unexpected error (OperationalError('no such table: history',)).History will not be written to the database.The wiki doesn't say anything about it and web searches have only turned up things relating to using non-English characters in the sage notebook, which doesn't seem to be related. Searching the forums also didn't turn up anything relevant. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling all sage-related packages, as well as installing all optional dependencies, but nothing has helped. (I tried building the full sage distribution from source, but there's apparently a bug in gcc 5.2 that causes an error and the patches I've found online don't seem to help; I'll follow that up with the sage devs in parallel with this.)
So I'm wondering if there are any sage users out there that have encountered this problem and might have a solution. I'm happy to provide any additional information that might help.
Many thanks!
