Description (last modified by paulmasson)

As reported on both ​Ask and ​sage-support, the precompiled binaries for Mac OS X are encountering errors when calling Maxima with solve().

The solution for the Ask user was to install the Command Line Tools and delete the hidden /.sage directory, but this should not be necessary for precompiled binaries.

Clarification by @slelievre on another ​Ask question: 

Be careful, the directory ~/.sage contains your sage notebook worksheets.
Having encountered similar problems in the past, it was enough to remove these files:
~/.sage/sage_notebook.sagenb/users.pickle
~/.sage/sage_notebook.sagenb/sagenb.pid

The same error appears to have ​occurred a couple years ago and was fixed by #17375.
