I'm attempting to update SageMath-8.7.app on an iMacPro running Mac OS X ver. 10.14.6 tp SageMath-8.8.app. The problem for the moment occurs when I decompress sage-8.8-OSX_10.14.5-x86_64.app.dmg, the operation crashes my iMacPro with the message captured in the attached file.

Any suggestions?

Attempting to run Sage on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X ver. 10.12 (Sierra). When I start up Sage I get the following messages in my terminal window:

Any suggestions?

Permit me to ask this another way. I want to compute the symbolic gradient of the following:

-mu * x / r^3, where mu is a constant and r = sqrt( x^2 + y^2 + z^2 )

In my sage worksheet I have:

variables = var( 'x, y, z, r, f' )

constants = var( 'm' )

r = sqrt( x^2 + y^2 + z^2 )

f = -m * x / r^3

show(f.gradient([x,y,z]))

Sage does not give me the correct answer. My question is how do I get Sage to treat or declare m as a constant in the calculus sense?

I need to define some symbolic constants in some expressions, so that the symbolic constant survives differentiation. How can they be defined?
