Sage on Ubuntu: the error message is: (‘EOF in multi-line statement’, (805, 0))

Installed sage under Ubuntu yesterday. Just for trying out. (Well, actually I tried it out a little bit already on their fantastic webservice)
The first thing I tried, however, gave me an error message!


ERROR: An unexpected error occurred while tokenizing input
The following traceback may be corrupted or invalid
The error message is: ('EOF in multi-line statement', (805, 0))


ERROR: An unexpected error occurred while tokenizing input

The error message is: ('EOF in multi-line statement', (785, 0))

And then more blabla. Not very nice, I would say. Apparently, it is a conflict between certain versions of Sage and Maxima.

My solution: building Sage myself from source. Not hard to do, and you get the latest version fully installed. Disadvantage: it takes a couple of hours of compiling!
