There's only one step: notebook()

It should be looking in Users/<shortusername>/.sage/sage_notebook.sagenb/home/pub. What is <shortusername>?

Installed from source.  I do run notebook() and then I get the error I mentioned.  To get to that "pub" file I go through Users/annahaensch/.sage/sage_notebook.sagenb/home/pub, but then it says the file type of "pub" is an alias, and I'm not sure where the original file is.  

Thanks!

How? Installing from source is broken on 10.8, unless you change the scipy package as in #13541 - http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/13541, with the command line tools installed by XCode 4.5 (the latest version, released the same time as 10.8.2)

Ah, yes, I didn't mention that, I did enable command line tools in Xcode 4.5, and changed the scipy package using that very trac ticket.

Open the folder ~/.sage/sage_notebook.sagenb/home and select pub, then press cmd-R (it'll take you to the other end of the alias), and then cmd-click on the folder name in the title bar. It should be in some weird folder like 3a21.

Try this: remove the .sage folder from your home folder, either by trashing it or moving it someplace else.

That worked!  Thanks so much!
