The following zero check yields an error in my copy of Sage (version 9.5):

real_part(log(QQbar((-1)^(1/3)))).is_zero()

The result of the computation should be True. The entire error message can be found here: https://pastebin.com/iYNjuwZJ I also checked the Sage Cell Server and the same error appears there. I could not find anything related on the Trac server. However, since I have no idea what is going wrong here, my search was very limited.

From the log it seems that your sage is missing maxima. Could you try to run the command maxima(1)?

maxima(1) works in my installation and gives me a sage.interfaces.maxima.MaximaElement object.

Could you give more details about your setup (operating system, how you did install Sage).

I install it by calling makeafter cloning form the github repo as described here: https://ask.sagemath.org/question/431... My OS is openSUSE Leap 15.2

Then there was probably a problem in the compilation process. If you want a diagnosis you should post the files $SAGE_ROOT/config.log, $SAGE_ROOT/config.status and possibly the full $SAGE_ROOT/logs/install.log.

BTW : this "triple check" isn't really necessary. Guess why...
