In general, Sage will be installed in the directory, $SAGE (/usr/local/sage,
for  instance). The binary file, sage, is in the directory, $SAGE, which might
not be found by your system. Thus set the environment variable as follows:

 > export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/sage:

or link the binary file as follows:

 > ln -s /usr/local/sage/sage /usr/bin/

TeXmacs will find the sage binary file.
